Comments on: Weekly Hotlinks – The Frozen Ponytail http://www.doyouconvert.com/2008/12/22/builders_twitter_blog/ Internet Sales and Marketing for Home Builders and Real Estate Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:36:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jim Adamshttp://www.doyouconvert.com/2008/12/22/builders_twitter_blog/comment-page-1/#comment-12892 Jim Adams Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:55:33 +0000 http://www.doyouconvert.com/blog/?p=338#comment-12892 Hi Mike, Thank you again for the hotlinks. They are hot indeed. Seth Godin is a prophet (profit)! His insight into the psychology of consumer preference as it relates to traditional advertising is second to none. Companies using social media, especially Twitter, must be careful not to use traditional interruption tactics through the new media. If we don't give consumers information that benefits them, we will soon be loosing followers and friends. Like Seth says below, if what you're Twittering wouldn't work at a cocktail party, it won't work on Twitter either. I love Seth's mantra. "Traditional advertising is inherently selfish. It interrupts in order to generate money (part of which pays for more interruptions). That approach doesn't work at a cocktail party, or at a funeral or in a social network." Jim Adams - CEO New Homes Directory.com Hi Mike,

If we don’t give consumers information that benefits them, we will soon be loosing followers and friends. Like Seth says below, if what you’re Twittering wouldn’t work at a cocktail party, it won’t work on Twitter either.

I love Seth’s mantra. “Traditional advertising is inherently selfish. It interrupts in order to generate money (part of which pays for more interruptions). That approach doesn’t work at a cocktail party, or at a funeral or in a social network.”
