You won’t pay for Twitter — but what about apps?
It was news that wasn’t really “news”: a survey showing that zero percent of people (that’s right: ZERO percent) wouldn’t pay for Twitter.
I’m not sure I buy that. For years, “people” said “other people” would never pay for TV, either.
(Have you seen your cable or satellite bill lately — or like me, are you too afraid to open it…?)
Anyway: Darren Rowse of ProBlogger took up the subject of “free” today and talked about “5 Tools I Am Willing to Pay for [And Recommend] to Improve My Blogs.”
I’ll be checking them out shortly. His ideas tend to be really good.
I switched from some free Twitter apps to paid ones because for me, they are a business expense.
When (free) TweetDeck was crashing every five minutes during the World Cup, I was happily (and smugly) responding using MarketMeTweet that I wasn’t noticing any down time.
Because MarketMeTweet is a premium Twitter account management application, not as many people use it, which means fewer crashes and better service overall.
And I can’t afford downtime. Neither — especially — can the clients whose Twitter accounts I manage.
If you are serious about using Twitter for business, marketing and (especially) branding, MarketMeTweet has worked well for me.
