One way Twitter won't waste your time 
So there are thousands conversations happening simultaneously on Twitter, right? How can you join in and find new prospects without feeling weird? One way is to head over to Twitter Search. You will see the top phrases for which people are searching, great information about what's top of mind with folks. You can also get a feel for what people are talking about within your industry. For example, if you are a career coach, type in "new career" without the quotes, and you will see recent conversations in which people talked about getting a new career, offers for new careers, books about new careers, etc. Phrases with the # hash mark are a way to organize all the comments pertaining to that subject. At the top of the right column you will see the RSS feed icon for your search. When you subscribe to this feed, you will be able to stay up on all Twitter posts that contain the phrase "new career." When you find someone with a career question or issue, you can offer help or a solution using the "Reply" link. Remember, givers gain :) To take this a step further, try TweetBeep, an "alert" service similar to Google Alerts, that will alert you when someone mentions your name, company name or chosen phrase on Twitter. Cool, huh. Not only can you use Twitter search to find prospects, you can also use it to find mentions of your company, products, or stuff in which you are interested. I have found project partners and new prospects using this technique, hope it is useful for you, too.
