[...] May 25, 2009 · No Comments If you start a new business, it is likely to fail – and one of the main reasons is that it can be so difficult (and expensive) for small upstarts to get the word out to enough people to make a real go of it. In turn, it’s always great to hear about newish companies that are finding a way to leverage tools like Twitter to reach their customers for free – and it’s even better when you can see some actual numbers behind the experiments. Naked Pizza – a New Orleans healthful Pizza shop that’s backed by Mark Cuban – is one such story, having tested a Twitter-exclusive promotion on April 23rd that led to no less than 15% of that day’s business.

What is particularly powerful about Twitter is that the message format itself is not built for any specific workflow and/or purpose. Absence of a specific message structure, in tandem with open APIs, makes it easy/straightforward for a developer ecosystem to overlay things like trust, context, related, local, now without breaking the core underlying message structure.

As locative functions (such as Google’s Latitude) are layered on top of it, that opens up the door to some compelling local apps. Think:

– Offers: Happy Hour, Coupons, Bundles
– Right Now: Fresh, Hot, Today’s Specials, In your Area, Join Us
– Product or Service Info: Menu, Brochure, White Paper

Here’s a post that I wrote which expands up on these concepts:

Twitter is like a breath of fresh air on the Social Media scene. I have been on it for just a few weeks now and I have met several interesting people. It is a platform to network with people you would like to meet in real life.
