My opinion is Twitter is good if used properly..... However Twitter is not as good as it is hyped in the internet society

[Web Prodigy]

It's all of the above. It can be a great way to market as well as a waste of time. It depends on what you are offering and how you present the offer.
For me, I have my good days and I have my bad days.
As a whole Twitter has done a lot of good for me. I've made a lot of extra income just from Twitter and I've gotten a lot of traffic from them.

Twitter is good for sure. You have a skill to promote or advertise, twitter can be very effective. It will provide a huge number of traffic to your site. The only thing matters is that how you advertise it?

[Dhaval]

Yes, correct. Too many spammers around twitter now a days. I do advertise on twitter but it needs some sort of skill. It will definitely bring you traffic.

I still have mixed views on Twitter. I am using it, but not yet sure of the benefits. Lots of spamming going on

[MayaLocke]

It can be both a marketing tool and a waste of time, depending on how you use it or abuse it ;-)

[juliegreen]

I didn't get much benefits from tweet but i don't why, im keep getting accounts from it for each site of mine...

Follow people of your niche i.e. if you are from health care search people related to health care or those who are following some famous personlaties of health care and management

More than instant messaging, twitter has become a great marketing tool. Even the professionals and business people are using twitter to tweet and engage in other people.
Twitter can be used to announce special promotions, promote a new product and/or service, etc.

[Dhaval]

With my personal experience twitter brings you 30% if you put 100% effort. Anyone else?

[riderbabygurl]

You can be successful using twitter it you handled it properly. Yeah I agree with what Dhaval mention above. Twitter is full of spam nowadays. As what I've here twitter has making their action to all the spammer. They can easily detect the accounts who is abiding their rules, that may banned the account. Honestly, I get some traffic using twitter, but not that much. At least it might help a little.

Of course,Great way to market products or services.

[Andre Ward]

I think Twitter is a great social media and online marketing tool.

As for the spammers, I'm pretty sure grabbing up a Pro account (said to come by end of the this year) will solve that issue.

[astarmathsandphysics]

I joined twitter only to post links frankly. I at least see the use of it though. I cant see the use of facebook, myspace or bebo.

[JimQ]

It helps, what else to say.

[finweek]

Just spam network in my eyes.
Quite many people are just posting ads on twitter so it is for flood

[sniperhiga]

Talking about spammers... there is rumors that Twitter began to remove people who add to many links (especially spam ones).
