Thanks for the link ... even though I have been a member of Twitter for a number of months I can't begin to say I understand how it's going to help my business! I know that at some point, the light will come on???

Very good article, thank you. I too am not sure what Twitter can do for me, but its worth a shot. I'm going to go tweet now :)

Do you think indexing Twitter will be perceived as a good thing or a bad thing? Will people who tweet feel like they are being co-opted? I'm not actually on Twitter but I am very curious to watch the progress of social media.

Thanks for the post John I am just shy of 2K tweople following me now!

Not sure how the engines will be able to integrate tweets into the search results. Tweets are sometimes informative, but rarely authoritative. Seems like jumping on the bandwagon.
