How Twitter can Help Your Second Life Business

I have been watching and testing some things on Twitter the past few days. I know there are thousands of Second Lifers that use Twitter each and every day. I know that they converse with other Second Lifers and many of them in one way or another are Second Life Merchants.
Did you know that you can use Twitter to monitor your Second Life brand?
Did you know you can ALSO use Twitter to drive business to your Second Life business?
How?
Well I will let you in on a little secret that isn't all that secret and isn't all that little.
Follow KEYWORDS!
Yes Keywords!
I posted this yesterday
The first Tweet highlighted says:
"Looking for a good quality winter coat in Second Life... Anyone?"
and the second one says:
"I am scoping out Xstreet for a sweet pair of boots #SecondLife"

Guess what happened when I posted those Tweets....NOTHING!
No one sent me an @reply for the SLURL to their shop or the URL to their product on XStreet.
You guys are SLEEPING!
Wake up and grab a hold of what is in front of you.
I use TweetDeck and follow the keywords "Second Life"
I have met new people, found new events, but unfortunately did not get any help finding either item.

All it takes is time!

Tell Me If I Am Wrong

There are a lot of things in life that I don't agree with. Even more things online that I disagree with all of the time. Not that I am out to argue and be upset over anything, but I have a right to my own opinion right?
Ok so today (literally 5 minutes ago) I was on my Twitter page and seeing who my new followers, choosing if they were spam or quality and whether to follow back. If you use Twitter I am sure you know what I am talking about. Anyways I had a name in the list that I just could not believe that someone would use. Mind you I am far from the most religious person in this world, but I know for a fact that "Jesus Christ" is NOT using Twitter.
So maybe I am reacting a bit negatively, but seriously? We already have Britney Spears' people doing her Twitter, do we need someone giving us Jesus' updates in 140 characters or less?

Got to thinking....

So I got to thinking here recently, I know could be dangerous, however I think that this one is a good one!
I wonder how many people that I went to High School with or Junior High School with play or are involved in Second Life or Twitter and I have no clue. How cool would that be to reconnect with an old best friend or see an old crush in world. It would be awesome to Tweet daily with people that I have lost contact with over the years. I wonder how one would go about finding out.
Now I must do MORE thinking OR you can comment below with some awesome ideas I know you all have. It would be very interesting to know who out there lives a "Second Life" or who Tweets everyday like I do.
So yeah, I would love to get some ideas and see what happens.
BTW I went to Jane Adams Junior High (92-94) in Schaumburg IL and Windsor High School in Imperial MO (Class of 98)......Just in case you were wondering!
