People talk about all sorts of things on Twitter. If your business is closely aligned with a particular topic perhaps you can find others who are talking about it via Twitter. Or you could use various tools to just see what is currently buzzworthy on Twitter.
- One of the simple-but-powerful aspects of Twitter is the ability to quickly spread a message using the “retweet” feature. Jeremiah Owyang describes the feature as well as how you might factor it in to your chatter-watching activities.
- Jessica Swesey is using Twitter to listen to general chatter about the real estate market. From there she can get a sense of boots-on-the-ground activity in the Twittersphere (insert buzzword apology here).
- Joseph Ferrar gives us information on Twist, a buzz measurement tool.
