LOL, I'm not a Twitter fan, I generally think of it as annoying and while I think micro-messaging is here to stay, I do not think Twitter has the right approach. With that said, I increasingly have to use Twitter for marketing my sites and for spreading 9/11 Truth, so I am getting value out of it.

To give you an example of the value I am getting out of Twitter, check the recent Tweet I sent to celebrity/musician Fred Durst. Here is the tweet:

@freddurst i dissed you in my song for eminem. YouTube - Eminem, We Need a Freedom Relapse sorry man had to put you in your place. btw 9/11 was an inside job

For those who have had the privilege of not knowing who Fred Durst is up until now, let me take that privilege from you and imprison you with the rest of us. Fred Durst is a guy in the band Limp Bizkit. He also goes around having sex with celebrities and models dumb enough to have sex with him, and then he brags about it in interviews, reveals intimate details, leaks sex tapes, etc. Admittedly kind of amusing, but truly in poor taste.

I mentioned him in my song for Eminem, which is a reference to Eminem's previous beef with Fred Durst. I then told Fred Durst via Twitter that I dissed him. And now I'm blogging about it.

If you have a Twitter account, I encourage you to play along. Feel free to to send a tweet to @freddurst making fun of him for being dissed by @kidmercury in a song for @eminem.

While Twitter has already managed to create viral networks, we should ask ourselves who is profiting from the creation of these networks? At least for now, not Twitter, but rather those who use Twitter to direct traffic. I do not expect this to change, but rather to accelerate. For this reason, the growth trajectory of things like Twitter will be dictated by the value chains surrounding those who create viral networks on Twitter (i.e. the users, or key influencers -- popular people, publishers).

Because publishers and their relationships with their networks is at the heart of monetization of free media (i.e. digital media, mp3s, YouTube clips, etc), publishers should look to create a centralized destination that captures all of their media, which can then be used to better understand and profile their relationships with their consumers on a personal basis. This will lead to a richer experience for consumers and greater marketing value for publishers.

With this in mind, I've imported all my tweets here to KidMercuryBlog.com. If you visit our front page, you'll see a "Latest Tweets" tab on the left side. Click that and you'll see my latest tweets. And of course, if you're a Twitter user, you should follow me on Twitter.

The song for the post is "Girls" by Eminem, in which he disses Limp Bizkit. It is honestly the best diss song I have ever heard.

With that said, the lyrics are quite misogynistic, which could get some of you crybabies all wound up. To placate any potential whining I've also included the song "The Chain" by Ingrid Michaelson (see our song for Ingrid), quite possibly the girliest song ever. It's a top tune though, very well written. And check the vocal harmonies at the end. They're off the chain!
