TWEET TWEET!!! No, that’s not a bird you hear, those tweets are from the new LinkWorth’s Twitter Profile. While most have probably heard a lot of buzz about the up and coming micro-blogging service Twitter, there are many who still may be in the dark so let us briefly explain what Twitter is. According to Wikipedia, “Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.” Basically Twitter is a whole social network devoted short little messages, I like to think of it as the evolution of the Instant Messenger “away message” from online days of yore (back when AIM was king).
So why has LinkWorth joined Twitter? In the long term Twitter could very well become a useful way of communicating with our users, but right now the whole reason for the LinkWorth Twitter Profile is to provide real time updates on our trip to the 2008 PubCon Search Marketing Conference in Las Vegas Nevada, November 11th – 14th. We’ll be “tweeting” all the latest search news from PubCon, as well as documenting our teams shenanigans out on the town! What happens to us in Vegas, probably will stay in Vegas… but everything that doesn’t will end up on the LinkWorth Twitter Profile. Be sure to check it out November 11th – 14th.

Cool! That way, all of us here at the office, can spy on you guys!…lol Well, sort of. I love the concept of a LinkWorth twitter profile… I can’t wait to engage you guys and anyone else that comes to join the crazy conversations!
I will live vicariously in vegas through your twitter profile since I have to bail again this year.
MegaD…you’re killing me! I thought it was on this year!!??
cool,i will follow you!
I love being on the cusp of late breaking technology!
There’s this other thing we might look into that is kind of underground right now…they call it “Facebook”.
“I KID! I KID!”
Actually, kudos Baker for catching us up with the rest of the social world.
You really need to do twitter.com/LinkWorth before someone steals it. Besides, putting DotCom in the name is just tacky. That was Mitzi’s idea wasn’t it..
I’m still debating the tattoo next week…. What day is that again?
whatup Bearemy! What’s tacky is the huge back tattoo we’re going to put on you in Vegas.
I actually have /linkworth. Problem is they set it to a deleted status and then disabled the restoration feature back in august. Been trying to get it straightened out but who knows if they’ll ever fix it. Until then, we’ll be twitter tacky.
It’ll be good to see you man…
Ya ya ya… I still gotta give you a hard time
and you’re right, it was Mitzi’s idea. all things tacky are a result of Mitzi.
Well, I’m following you now if for no other reason than to stay updated on your choice of tattoos this year.
Oh, and for the giggle factor.
Did I just repeat myself?
LinkWorth should look at ways to broker links into users twitter accounts. I may be interested in tweeting about a product and adding a link for a couple $$.
be-a-magpie already does this, but I don’t like how it is totally automated. I would want to see each post before it went into my account and approve / deny them on an individual level, and be paid on a per/tweet, link basis. (prices based on update frequency and followers probably)
Just a thought.
