@GaryVee could be the poster child for the revolution we talk about here at Twitter Handbook.

After his awesome keynote at New Media Expo, I jumped on stage and grabbed this Twinterview:

We’ve got a great line up for the TwitCast tonight.

With you on board, it will be even more AWESOME

The TwitCast is a live radio show, hosted on the Internet. Just go to http://TwitCastRadio.com to listen LIVE over the internet. You can get your own free account account so we’ll be able to see your user name and chat with you live during the call. Otherwise, just use this post to share your comments.

If you have a BlogTalkRadio account, it’s that same username… If you are creating a new one.. use your Twitter handle so we’ll all know who’s who. (this isn’t a rule.. you know how we feel about rules.)

Next step will be to Tweet to your followers. The bigger the crowd we get, the better the social experitment will work.

I just heard that Growing Wealth Magazine is doing a feature on social media in an upcoming issue.

Here’s the request I received from Geoff Williams.

Post a comment if you are interested and I’ll tell Geoff to connect with you

Needed: BIZ OWNERS/NETWORKING SITES

Media Outlet/Publication: Growing Wealth magazine

Region: USA

Deadline: 6:00 PM EASTERN - July 28

Query:

“I’m writing an article for Growing Wealth magazine about the

growing popularity of networking sites like LinkedIn, Twitter,

etc., among the business crowd, particularly business owners, with

a focus on making money through these sites (i.e., hiring people

through LinkedIn, meeting people who wind up being a supplier or

your biggest client). If you’re the owner of a business that makes

at least $1 million in annual revenue and you have some anecdotes

or advice to share about using online networking sites to further

your business goals, please feel free to drop me a line and

hopefully I can get you into my article.

Twitter sized text messages are affecting how we communicate.

Got an idea for a new business? Want some funding.

Here’s the rules for your TwitPitch

No need to read about the dinasaurs realizing that people are getting business done with social media

Just read @stoweboyd‘ s post http://www.stoweboyd.com/message/2008/05/gosh-golly-soci.html

Post a comment about OTHER OLD MEDIA stories or “no clue” responses to Twitter here for inclusion in TwitterHandbook

Marketers ask me if I’ve found the secret to blasting out ad messages to twitter users.

Many don’t get that it’s pretty near impossible to sell with “interruption messages” today.

But that doesn’t mean that no one is making money from Twitter relationships. The key difference is the motivation.

If you join twitter just to find buyers, people will avoid you. On Twitter, it’s so easy to unfollow or block an annoying person.

We’re now collecting stories like this one about a Real Estate agent that connected with a local person on Twitter and didn’t just say “got a property to list”.

That’s the secret.

Use twitter to network. Listen to the marketplace. Help people. Provide value. Do this on Twitter and pretty soon BINGO! Someone says, “Hey - you seem like a nice person to do business with!”

What’s your twitter MONEY story? Post a comment and let me know about high dollar deals and people making money by using Twitter so we can have a Twinterview with you or a follower for the Twitter Handbook.
