You said, “There’s little here that most Twitter users don’t already know.” Well, I agree. But, the article isn’t aimed at active Twitter users primarily, rather at students who may not use Twitter at all. Facebook is the proven leader with college students while, as a U.S. News & World Report article noted, it isn’t as popular as Facebook and MySpace.

As far as personal branding, especially for college seniors and new grads, I agree Twitter can be very useful to help people market who they are. I plan on covering that angle in an upcoming article discussing LinkedIn, FaceBook, and other social media tools for new grads and jobseekers; which may be something you’d be willing to share with our readers in an interview.

I get a feeling that this article is sort of condescending as well. There’s little here that most Twitter users don’t already know. A topic of actual value for college students would be more along the lines of personal branding. A recent college grad and current business-owner, speak on the topic for local colleges and universities.

I’d love to guest post on the topic. Let me know if you’re open to it.

First of all, in no way have I indicated that Twitter is a get rich scheme. Those are your words. Period. What I am saying is that you can “make some spare money while not in class.” You extended that thought by saying I was telling college students that they can create vast amounts of wealth. Uh, no.

Second of all, it isn’t condescending to anyone using Twitter to remind them that they can keep people updated about their comings and goings. That’s what Twitter is all about. Because this website is geared toward informing college students (you may want to read the other 650+ posts for your understanding), Twitter and other social media tools certainly do have a place of importance for them.

As far as real time news and networking opportunities go, I’ll let you cover that on your own site. No offense given, so no offense should be taken.
