Anita Campbell has certainly created a lively and interesting dialogue on this. However several including myself are finding Twitter et al. are fine for us, but we're not sure we want to recommend it to small business clients unless it's particularly right for their businesses.

Barry - that new TwitterLocal site has a lot of small businesses quite excited about Twitter, real estate agents in particular. I'll probably be setting up an account soon for my wife (a real estate agent), and since there's a local element to Twitter now, I feel almost obliged to get my own account so I can speak about it from experience.

Well, we're definitely speaking to the early adopters when we talk about Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Still, I can remember when barely any small biz owners had heard of blogs. Now at least they have heard of blogs, even though blogs, too, are not for everyone.

I'd go so far as to say, Twitter is a lot easier to do than a blog and *might* get greater uptake, simply because it's faster. The time commitment of a blog is a deal breaker for many small businesses, unless the owner or a key manager happens to be in online marketing or is silver tongued or a Web junkie.

Yes, I would agree that Twitter will be a lot more easier for small biz owners who are starting out in creating an online presence. However, isn't it more professional for a business to own a site (a blog or an info site about the biz) since it is much more professional than just a Twitter profile.
