Since 2006, forward-thinking companies like Apple, JetBlue, Whole Foods, and GM have discovered the instant benefits of leveraging the social media phenomenon known as Twitter to reach consumers directly, build their brand, and increase sales. Twitter is at the leading edge of the social media movement, allowing members to connect with one another in real time via short text messages?called "tweets"?that can be received either via the Twitter site or by e-mail, instant messenger, or cell phone. Many companies have started building entire teams within their organization dedicated solely to responding to tweets from consumers about their brand. And this is just the beginning.
In Twitter Power, Internet marketing and Web innovation expert Joel Comm shows businesses and marketers how to integrate Twitter into their existing marketing strategies to build a loyal following among Twitter members, expand awareness for their product or service, and even handle negative publicity due to angry or disappointed consumers. The book also presents case studies of companies on the forefront of the Twitter movement, to help you develop your own social networking strategies. Twitter Power is the result of extensive testing and participation in the social networking community and is a must-have for any business that wants to keep up with the social media movement. Twitter Power features a foreword by Tony Robbins.

Twitter Power is mostly for those in business, like My Space, Twitter is becoming the next great market for online businesses to meet and greet others who are in their niche market. In just one week I have learned how to change my boring background on twitter to something that is more in tune with my personality, have met wonderful new people who are interested in the health and wellness industry and have great new friends online. All from following Joel's well tested ideas.
In Twitter Power there are tips, tricks, and websites to help you use the power of Twitter more effectively, many of which I had never heard of before reading Twitter Power.
Joel talks about branding your company and how many big corporations are also using twitter. Now if Dell, JetBlue, Home Depo among many other corporations are using twitter to keep in touch with their customers than you know that its a very valuable resource for your own business.
With humor and valuable insight Joel makes reading Twitter Power fun too! While some people may say that the book isn't a help, I disagree any information that gives you a heads up on the newest technology and great insights into how to brand yourself and stand out among the millions of other businesses than it is a valuable resource!
You can never stop learning! Because your competition doesn't!
Besides working from home can make you feel isolated sometimes and by joining in on conversations with people you know on Twitter it is like having a GIANT water cooler to help break up the mundane while helping you get connected with people and businesses in your niche market.
Knowledge is power!
I would love to connect with you! Follow me on Twitter [...]

There are two weaknesses that stand out to me while reading the book. I consider myself to be fairly well versed in the aspects of Twitter and I found at some times, while the ease of reading is strength, thinking that the book needs to pick up. Show me some insight on how to gain followers, make money, promote etc. Then at other times some of the things he was explaining with third party apps was completely over my head. I feel that the organization could have been slightly better, by that I mean some of the third party examples used in the meat of the text should have been placed in the third party chapter.
Overall I would certainly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn how to promote themselves, or brand through The Power of Twitter.
I found myself agreeing with everything in this book and also learning a few things I did not know.
This book is mainly geared to people that want to use twitter to promote themselves or their business but also strongly recommends bringing your own personal touch to twitter. Even a business account should have a real person behind it that people can relate to. The author gives great examples of both successful and unsuccessful accounts ran for businesses.
Joel Comm is adamant about telling readers how twitter gives anyone a voice to potentially millions of people online and that twitter's true power comes through when connected to other social media sites like a blog, facebook, or youtube, etc. I completely agree.
If you are interested in monetizing twitter the author advises the formula is Know me. Like me. Trust me. Pay me. Just like in the real world of sales. Twitter is not a get rich quick scheme and people that launch into sales with no relationship will fail quickly.
Twitter users will not find instant success in the short term. Twitter is about building relationships, building trust, and building a brand. It is about creating value for your followers. It is a long term commitment to success.
Your goal on twitter if you want a lot of followers and to be successful is to create consistent tweets that are entertaining, interesting, and fun. (I would also add informative.)
Great book that I think anyone can get several great tips from to learn how to be more successful on twitter.
Top reviews from other countries
If you are not a user of Twitter either as a personal user or a business looking to dip their toe in the water of social media, this book covers everything. Starting from the basics, this book explains how to open a Twitter account, get the look and feel right with adding your own background, profile picture and any external links you may have. Even though Twitter is very easy to use and quite clearly laid out, I would imagine some people may find this useful.
As the book progresses it clearly outlines to you the does and dont's of managing your Twitter profile from how to build your followers in the right way and how to tweet, which is vital if you are going to both maintain your existing followers and acquire new followers.
One of the chapters explains about some of the various different types of apps available to use in for managing your Twitter profile, tweets, retweets and how to track tweeted links.
Primarily written for businesses but for personal users of Twitter there is a good chapter on Twitter monitoring or `listening' as I like to call it. It explains how to use the search.twitter.com function and then explains how to engage in conversations with those tweeters.
Would I suggest reading it?
Overall it is a good book and purveys Joel's enthusiasm for the subject and more so the Internet. It is best for those coming fresh to Twitter, it is not really for those that currently have accounts, or those people that have read about such corporate successes like; @comcastcares, @southwestair, @btcare and @easyJetcare.
