It’s probably ‘news’ to few, but Twitter was shut down on Thursday, August 6th, 2009 by hackers and I JUMPED FOR JOY!
Why should YOU be happy that hackers took down Twitter?
OK, it’s not so great that Twitter actually went offline, but this cloud certainly has an incredible silver lining. You see, hackers launch large scale attacks only where they’ll get the most public notice. An attack on the scale required to take Twitter offline is like a Mitzva, a right of passage. Twitter is officially all grown up!! If you’re already leveraging Twitter to generate traffic to your business, buy yourself some celebratory bling — you’re one shrewd internet marketer.

Earlier harbingers of Twitter’s mainstream arrival include Oprah Winfrey’s initial Tweet on April 17, 2009. The ‘Oprah effect’ on new Twitter members is estimated at 1.2 Million by former Engadget editor-in-chief Ryan Block. Oprah joins Ashton Kutcher, Britney Spears, and Shaquille O’Neal in Twitter uber celebrity fame. Ashton Kutcher became a Twitter legend as he challenged and won a race against CNN to be the first Twitter user with 1 million followers.
How does Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter success help you?
Ashton’s very public, come-from-behind win over CNN proves the power of a single voice over the crowd. It’s astonishing how an individual can reach more people than an entire media company! Just think what a platform like Twitter can do for your business. What, you’re worried that you don’t command the same name recognition as Ashton Kutcher. Let’s get our ego’s in check. As of this writing, Ashton now has over 3 million followers on on Twitter and is the highest ranked user according to Twitterholic. Even if you have to beg, borrow, wrangle, and subvert your way, with the right approach, your business success can skyrocket with as little as 10 or 20 thousand followers. My friend Perry Belcher can teach you how to earn more than $1 per follower per month!
I encourage you to throw on some trunks, wax your board, and learn to surf the Twitter wave, Dude. The number of worldwide unique visitors to the Twitter reached 44.5 million in June, up 15-fold year-over- year, according to comScore data. It’s projected that Twitter will crush 50 million members by Christmas, 2009.
The Twitter tsunami is rolling in. Your business can either be catapulted by it or left in its backwash!
