   Dear Patrick Kershaw

   I see that you are new to Twitter. You’ve posted two tweets from your Twitter account (@patrickkershaw1). Perhaps just one if we consider your latest tweet to be a sign-off:

   “has decided twitter is a fad… and this will be his last update”.

   I know Twitter can be hard to understand for a new user, so perhaps a brief introduction would be in order?

   Twitter has quite a good resource for new business users too: Twitter 101.

   Nice post, and great rebuttal! Twitter for users, whether business or personal, will only ever be what they make of it – and if you make very, very little of it (as it seems Patrick Kershaw did) it won’t reward you in any way. But if you engage it can become very rewarding. And even (shock, horror) fun.

   It is me or does the Wine Vault TV totally copy (or at least tries to copy) Gary Vaynerchuk’s format?

   Great to see great examples though of how businesses can get value from these social networking sites

   My “Will Boomers and the GOP Save Twitter?” is already extremely popular with most, controversial to some – although despite the title, it is not partisan, just factual.

   Twitter is not the be all of business but has a very important role to play within the realms of Social Media. As long as one thinks of Twitter as another tool in the cabinet of media avenues then I see it remaining relevant for business.

   I got an opportunity to develop an iPhone app for a corporation in Utah through Twitter. I wasn’t sure about it to start with, but I’m quite happy to admit I was completely wrong.

   Loved the post. I prefer using twitter first then google to even find answers most of the days. Who can beat real time search and much more productive responses from the same.

   Good stuff Ben.

    Yeah I wrote him an email and pointed out similar things. For me Twitter allows me to meet new people w/ similar interest, ideas & passions, allows me to keep up on things like news & science and even helps some in overcoming my disabilities. It is a good place to talk about my art from time to time and start earning a little money even though I’m stuck in a bed. All in all I find twitter a very useful tool for many sides of life.

    Ben, great post. I wrote something similar a few months ago. Can we snail mail all this info to Patrick or should we just go on TV3 and do a rebuttal show?
