For many of you, Twitter may not mean much, and for others, it may be a household name.
Either way, Twitter is the way forward as part of Social Marketing.
It is like a service that combines SMS, instant messaging, blogging, and general communication all in one, and it's free.
I have started using Twitter a few weeks back, and my following has been growing steadily ever since I started. When it is used correctly, it can viraly grow your business. However, it is important to remember that you always need to add value.
More information on twitter is available by clicking my twitter link...
Have a great day.

How Do I Navigate The maze Of Hosting Accounts Out There?
How Do I Cope with the Wide Choice of Hosting Accounts Available?
There are many compnaies to choose from for your hosting.
At the end of the day, I look at a few main requirements...
The hosting company must provide value and reliability.
By reliability, I mean the company must be online all the time. It is not worth having a cheap account, where your website is not up, due to the unreliability of the servers at your hosting company. So, let's look for reliability.
In addition, you also want to make sure that they provide great support. This is absolutely vital, as you want to talk to a real human being when you are having problems. If you are like me, you may like working at night, so will want to also be able to call 24 hours a day.
This is all achievable with the better companies, like Hostmonster.
As an added bonus, you also want to make sure they provide a good control, or C Panel. This is the area where you can program the way your web site will work.
In this panel, with HostMonster, you also have access to a fantastic program, appropriately called Fantastico- which makes the installation of various other programs, a great breeze.
I really recommend the use of Host Monster, for your hosting needs.
In addition, you are never in a long term contract- you can 'deop out' when ever you want to, although when you have a great host for a great site- that's not an idea on my mind...
Check it out.
Cheers
