Business Twitter Resources – Best Collections
ByFebruary 25, 2009 by Barry Hurd
There is not a day that goes by without someone asking me “what is Twitter” or “how do I use it?”
Rather than write an entirely new resource, I am simply going to point you towards the “best of the best” resources for Twitter. The key to Twitter that you need to keep in mind during this learning process is that Twitter is not a complex communication platform. It is a very simplistic communication tool.
It is like a hammer used to pound nails and smash things. It has a million different ways it can be used.
It is changing quickly. Millions of users are finding ways of using this new found hammer. It can be wielded with massive strength or surgically used to handle the most tactful interactions. The choice is yours. Keep an open mind.
The “Best of the Best”
How to Attract and Influence People on Twitter — The Ultimate Twitter Resource , Derek Halpern collected an amazing group of articles and resources that he strategically broke into chapter categories. It is the best breakdown I have seen yet:

- Chapter 3: How to Increase Your Twitter Followers
- Chapter 4: Why Twitter Helps Bloggers (and How they Can Use It)
- Chapter 5: The Ultimate Guide to Twitter for Business

- Chapter 7: Does Twitter Provide Any SEO Benefits?
- Chapter 8: Where Else Does Twitter Apply?
- Chapter 9: Twitter Case Studies: What are People and Companies Doing?
