Tired of Twitter yet? Apparently businesses are still frothing at the mouth and hemorrhaging at the wallet over it. If you're just thinking about starting to use Twitter for your business, this article might make you think twice whether or not it's right for you.

Baker Tweet seems more like a solution looking for a problem, but I'm sure the technology could be expanded to more practical uses. Or maybe it's just the low carb diet talking. :-)

Hey Adam, I have to respectfully disagree. There are many opportunities that will bloom from the platform or iterations of it. Take a look at www.bakertweet.com. That's a real use of Twitter and you can see future opportunities like it. People are busy and this sort of use would make life easier -- although I'm sure going to the bakery isn't one of those things...

I agree. I never could figure out why twitter was so popular.

An honest look at how effective, or ineffective, Twitter is for small business marketing. I couldn't agree more.

However, there must be a few small businesses who are successfully using Twitter. I would like to see more articles on how small businesses, preferably local brick and mortar businesses, are effectively using Twitter.
