Share your Twitter success stories

Twitter has been all the buzz for a while now, but it just seems to keep getting stronger. Seems like every day another person I know is hopping on Twitter to give it a try. Not only that, but businesses and organizations everywhere are starting to use it. Plus, convergence between Twitter, websites, blogs, Facebook and other social apps just keeps gaining ground.

So, I'm curious. How has Twitter helped you? How has it helped your business or organization? I'd love to hear some real world stories of how Twitter is making a difference and generating real results. Share them with us in the comments.

Personally, one way Twitter has helped me is to enhance my connection with certain media personnel. These are people I would likely be connected to anyway through email or other communication, but with Twitter, the information sharing regarding is instant and automated which has proven very helpful on several occasions.

How about you? Give us some specific examples of how Twitter generates results for you and your business or organization.

Just this morning I twittered about needing to find a narrator to help produce an audiobook project. Within a couple of hours I had three people, two of whom I was not previously acquainted with, contact me about working on the project. Awesome!

Before we started our twitter.com/tractionokc account, we would receive maybe 2-3 resumes a month. And that's okay 1) if you're rarely hiring or 2) if 90% of them are great candidates. For some odd reason we decided to start tweeting. Actually we had to force ourselves to. Not many followers (still not a ton, which is fine by us) but we tweeted like there's no tomorrow. Often? Not by the usual twitter's count (that is, if "usual" means the 10%, or so, who actually ever tweet more than a couple times). WE TWEETED HARD. Only interesting stuff nobody else could know. Well written stuff. It has now evolved, as have we. ---- ---- ---- ---- Moral of the comment is: we now get 2-3 resumes a day (and only tweet if you have something to say worth reading - if most twitters were forced to follow themselves, they would stop). Success story? Not for Google with their 13k applicants per day. But none-the-less it was an immediate "value-exposer" for us. Now, if we could just turn applicants into clients. Anyone have a bot for that?
