Twitter Takedown

Published: July 09 2009

Who will win? The Nerd? The Super-Nerd? Or the Hot Nerd? You, the loyal reader decides!

There’s been a lot of hot-headedness and heated debate flying throughout the DotCom Media office and it’s time to put a stop to it once and for all. You have the overwhelming privilege of participating in the social networking battle of the decade! Three of our team members have been “tweeting” for the past little while in order to build their Twitter audiences. For Ryan, Dennis and Dylan, the challenge of acquiring qualified Twitter audience growth has led to trash-talk.

We need you to put the issue at rest and stop all the chest puffing so we can get back to work. So without further adieu, let's introduce our challengers!

How can Twitter benefit you and your business? Some of the benefits to communicating on Twitter include:

• Following friends and family
• Following mentors, and people you respect
• Linking with prospects
• Linking with existing customers
• Staying current with trends
• Linking to great websites

Three of our team members have been “tweeting” for the past little while and building their audiences online. For two members of the team, the challenged of acquiring qualified audience growth has led to some trash-talk in the office boardroom. Being a somewhat fun yet competitive group here at DotCom, we have decided to let customers and contacts decide who the best “tweeter” really is. So without further adieu, let's introduce our challengers!

Ryan Lahay, “The Work-a-holic” https://twitter.com/rlahay. Ryan is the lead programmer at DCM. He uses Twitter to communicate on his 2 passions – website development and climbing.

Dennis Powers, “The Wilie Veteran” https://twitter.com/dennispowers. Dennis is the sales / account manager at DCM. He uses Twitter to communicate on interactive media development on the Internet and other interactive media formats.

Dylan Tyre, “The Rookie” https://twitter.com/tyrewebdesign. Dylan is a junior programmer at DCM. He uses Twitter to communicate on the the cool web apps he's working with and social injustices he experiences around the world.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!! These three twits will stop at nothing for their own claim of online supremacy. We need you to sign-up to Twitter (if you aren't already signed up), then find and follow your favorite “tweeter”! Do it quick, because the Twitter Takeover will only run for the next four weeks with the all-important bragging rights going to the winner!
