Making people and ideas findable

Do you have any Twitter success stories?

So far this year Twitter has sent over 5,100 visitors to Smaller Indiana. Note the lift in traffic from Twitter in May and June when our PR sponsors, Roundpeg, stepped up efforts to Tweet about the Smaller Indiana, Bigger Ideas conference. Smaller Indiana requests for new memberships have also increased during this time, so Twitter seems to be having a positive impact on our community. While 90 visits a day from Twitter isn't going to make anyone rich, we are excited about the possibilites of continue growth in this area; and we're curious to know if anyone else is tracking success from Twitter usage. Do you have any Twitter success stories? Please share them here

I just wrote a blog post about the twitter success story in Iran. I also read a news article a few days ago about Dell attributing $3 Million in sales directly to twitter.; ▶ Reply to This

It was as a result of a Tweet that I posted asking if anyone needed a website or any web work done. The project came from Chicago, and was not as a result of any networking locally. Pretty cool!; ▶ Reply to This

I have a feeling that I could keep going, but I'll stop here.; ▶ Reply to This
