Okay, I finally HAVE to do it.  I connected my KizmeTech FB page to my Twitter account, and I’m going to start to tweet soon.  To say I’ve been reluctant would be an understatement.  Part of my reluctance is due to the barrenness of the landscape on Twitter to the un-anointed.  Part of it has to do with the silliness of the name, it’s just not dignified to run around talking about tweeting with my clients, which leads to the last reason, my clients are just not ready for it!  They’ve had so much new to get used to lately…

To say that I am converted is perhaps an over-statement, there’s some lingering reluctance.  So what put me over the edge to give it a try?

1.  It works.  I did some competition research recently on a particular keyphrase.  There were these two sites, same services, different domain age, but everything else was very similar including link popularity!  One fed their tweets as news onto their home page giving some really useful tips.  It was the younger of the two domains by several years.  It was WAY ahead of it’s peer.  Showed up ahead of directories in a major city.  No other individual websites came up until page two except for this ONE GUY.

2.  Matt Cutts webmaster videos and other of my SEO resources are now only available by following them on Twitter.  So here goes.  I’ve been a believer in blogging for years now, but I STILL don’t do it enough.  Let’s see how the Twittering goes.  I actually think I’ll have more success, because they are by nature (as a micro-blogging platform) shorter posts. and now that my Facebook status updates feed my Twitter account, I’m in like Flynn!

Come along and share your thoughts!  I’d love to hear some stories…
