Some companies are just sooo touchy about people using their name in domain names. According to the man himself the latest to fall victim to this is John Chow’s reciprocal Twitter following service hosted at www.twitterfollower.com
Twitter have issued a Cease & Desist to John, it’ll be really interesting to see how this one pans out (there are certainly plenty of cases in John’s favour for this one)?
Oh and by the way there is also a very real chance that this could be just link bait by Mr Chow himself. If it is it’ll be a shame, I’d really like to see how the courts would see something like this.

As you know I’ve been playing around with Twitter for a couple of months now. As a communication tool I still don’t get it, sorry if that offends but I just don’t. On the other hand however I have found some very good uses for Twitter and I’m going to share one of them with you now. It’s how I’m using Twitter to funnel long tail keyword traffic straight to my websites.

Things have been very slow on the blogging front the last week. I really haven’t been doing much online instead concentrating on a couple of applications that I’m writing to make my day to day running a little easier. More on that stuff in the near future. Anyway, late yesterday afternoon I decided to catch up on a couple of the MMO blogs that I read and headed over to ShoeMoney. This post stood out, hmm pay per click arbitrage – I could see dollar signs and some easy money. Figuring I was early onto this i.e. no comments I decided to give it a go straight away. This is how I got on with my RevTwt / SocialSpark Twitter arbitrage:-

I’ve been avoiding Twitter like a Mexican avoids somebody with flu symptoms. It’s not so much an issue with Twitter itself, more the technology involved. I figure unless I can update it frequently and easily enough then what’s the point of using it? If I use my mobile it will cost me a fortune, the various Twitter clients I’ve tried were all bulky for what little functionality they gave. The Twitter website is not that good. So in short I couldn’t be bothered with Twitter.
I did however set up an account for my daughter. It took a little while but now she has become hooked, not only that but every day she seems to gain more followers, many from people all over the world. This has had a really positive effect on her blog (can you see where I’m going with this yet?). Am I really stupid enough to ignore something that could be so beneficial? Nope.
