i think word by mouth, though is not efficient, but it’s more effective until now…^^

Discounting social media is like saying that planes suck because you can’t drive them.
Great analogy!

Tad, is the 20 minutes taken in consideration creating the conception and writing or just writing?

Another point is to Learn
Couple of days ago I learned on twitter about a campaign from a big car brand in US. It happens that I was in need of similar idea for a client of mine – the interaction and the momentum was just possible due twitter.
My2 cents

Right Badi, the tweet might have been a little misleading. I might write a follow up on that. Subscribe to get the update :-)

First, this is a great post, but I came here (from twitter) to see what speed blogging was all about.

I think you’re on to something, and I’ve been thinking along the same lines since I started using twitter. It has forced me to be quicker, and more to the point when writing. I like it.

Hey Steven: So how long do you need to write a blog post? I need 1h to 4h usually depending on size, depth, images, links and overall “value”. English is my third language, after Polish and German so I might be slower than native speakers though.

Andy: Yeah, that’s why I’m so prominent on Sphinn. I’m always gald to get the 200+ Spinners.

“Low value”, what rot!

Social media traffic is laser targeted, bounce rate is super-low because you’re preaching to the converted. For smaller websites, social media traffic is the most valuable because the publisher is part of the audience.

It might be different for Pepsi, but for those of us who can’t afford saturation TV advertising, I choose 200 focused visitors over 20,000 bored surfers any day.

Is the speed blogging thing sarcastic? I’m surprised that other posts would take much longer than that – that seems to be about a good amount of time for a post of that length. If sarcastic, I apologize for being slow to get the joke. If not sarcastic, I apologize for being ignorant to the ways of another blogger.
