The Twitter Economy

Some of you probably remember the days when Google emerged as the leader in search. Overnight, a whole new breed of services emerged and used it a their main growth engine.

From SEO advisers to meta-searchers to browser add-ons, you name it.

Today, with Twitter, there’s a similar burgeoning breed of tools created around the micro-blogging leader.

That’s what I define as the Twitter Economy.

Will they succeed or fail? Will they boost Twitter or hinder it?

That’s what I will analyze in future articles.

Stay tuned.
