Good points..and yes we did RT for you.

Micro-bloggers must remember that community-building is about engagement. That means continually creating conversations and sharing advice and content.

Twitter will make more inroads in 2009, so it behoves us to become skilful in its use.

Thanks Matt, your right me and Simon Young of iJump are putting together some material on Twitter of which spawned this and a few other blog posts.

(You can read more over on iJump http://ijump.co.nz/want-to-learn-more-about-twitter/)

I look forward to seeing how the platform changes and grows.

Just wanted to say definitely interested in what you “Young guys” come up with, just because I believe a lot of cats on twitter (ahem “social media experts”) are just playing out and 2k9 will be very interesting because the early majority is kicking in now, and clients are going to want to see more than parroting chris brogan et al and cute branding strategies.

Nothing currently putting the idea out there for feedback, then will go away and test if for a few people :)

Simon? Wrong blog haha this is Ben Young aka @bwagy on twitter.

I suspect about 1000 active users based on a few measures I’ve done.

It would be interested and you could track it as well, clearly the post research would take some time.

Your strategy is sound, do you have any idea of the total number of twitter users in NZ? would be interesting to track each timezone or country to see how and who was spreading your word. I think it has a place, but wouldn’t work for everything.

I like your posts Simon, always a clear perspective on things.
