		<description>Hello Jemeno - well, that is the million dollar question...  In regards to utilizing twitter as a marketing tool for business, we are currently exploring options and trialing different approaches to see what works, and what does not.  Because of the nature of twitter (being a micro blogging platform), any posts (also known as tweets) disapear from most of your followers view as soon as they are published - so we are currently under the impression of trying to post regular, enticing and interactive tweets are the way to go.   Presuming you are also in the Travel Industry, you should look into the &lt;a href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/bcsp2u&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Twitter Travel Directory here&lt;/a&gt;.    Also, if you are redirecting traffic away from twitter, you should create an account at &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/&lt;/a&gt; - this service will shorten your web addresses, and also allow you to gauge how many clicks you receive from links you post on twitter.  Let us know how you get on - and please feel free to &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/balesworldwide&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;follow our efforts here&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>I am delighted to discover, albeit belatedly, that Bales has entered the world of Twitter. I too was cynical to start with but have found it an interesting tool. I exercise a large dose of caution about who to follow (I&#039;m not interested in the fact that someone I don&#039;t know has just trodden on the cat) but Bales has now joined the honoured inner circle of those followed, taking my total to 7!!</description>
