There must be a combination of things working together. I must say there is no better way to get a headline out to someone like you can with Twitter. I have two comments that I have trouble with in the article. The first is the implication that Twitter is not highly targeted. Twitter CAN be a very targeted way to communicate or sell your message. The second is that Twitter can also be very personalized and is easily measured. It may take a little up front work, but Twitter is one of the most powerful tools to stay in contact with and sell to your customers, clients or prospects. I do agree however that it should be part of a solution with email as another part. The biggest trouble with email is getting lost in the spam folder and the biggest problem with Twitter is, like Joanne says, that most people still don't know how to use it. .-= Pol´s last blog ..<a href="http://mlmsuccessmedia.com/2009/06/twitter-automation-for-mlm-head-2-head-day-7/" rel="nofollow">Twitter Automation for MLM Head 2 Head Day 7 – Updated</a> =-.

Nonprofits need to remember that many of their supporters may not know a Twitter from a fritter. Multiple channels have to be used: mail, e-mail, traditional pr strategies such as press releases, plus social media.
