Thanks Sandi, Michael and Dien
I joined because Marlon Sanders told me to.
Do I do everything MS says? Well, almost.
I'm not even sure what Twitter does, but it looks FUN. So I'll stay with it for awhile and see what good (or bad) comes from it.
Re: Marlon Sanders. He just released a new product yesterday, I was one of the first to get it, it is called Ockham's Razor Marketing (Hey Dien, didn't we think of that like a decade ago? ah, you lose, you snooze)...anyhow. I'm not sure if I'm an affiliate or not. I'll find out and if so, then I'll be sure to use my affiliate link.
But, it is a good product and gives a great Overview of Online Marketing.
About Marlon...in 1996 I was working for Ben Suarez in the "Special Projects" division and also writing for the NPGS UPDATE HOTLINE, an Entrepreneurial newsletter mailed to thousands a month.
Marlon Sanders was a subscriber and he sent in his story about how he read Ben's book, SuperBiz (the forerunner to 7 Steps to Freedom II, How to Escape the American Rat Race)...and in his latest release Marlon mentions that (along with the great Gary Halbert).
That issue of the NPGS UPDATE HOTLINE is one of my favorites and Marlon explains how he is "gang testing" on the "Internet" (the www was just coming into being). Gang testing is a way to test several products against each other to have the best chance of choosing a successful product. Ben and the boys still use that method.
Anyhow, Marlon Sanders was one of the first people to sell INFORMATION (other than computer geek stuff) online. I may have beat him by a year or two when I tested my famous (infamous) SPAM, How to Start a Cult for Fun and Profit)...in the user groups. I go back to 1985 with my online presence.
So, Marlon reported what was happening on the Internet, as it was. AND I made my decision to quit a very nice well paying job to focus on making my fortune online (screw the fame, show me the money).
Well, here it is 12 years later and Marlon Sanders has mastered the Internet and has released product after product. His AMAZING FORMULA is a must have, right along side Ben Suarez' 7 Steps to Freedom.
NOW, his Ockham's Razor Marketing will become a classic.
Anyhow, MS told me to tweet, so I tweeted.
It dovetails in with what Dien (pronounced Dean for you newbies) and I are going to do with the SeedZine and fits into our new 2009 goals and objectives.
Thanks for telling me a little bit more about Twitter. I know, I know...1999 has called and wants me to leave...I've been there long enough, eh?

PS. I shared a FLU cure with Dien Rice, that may be my next twitter, OK with you Dien? HA!
