Tweetbook
Tom embraced the new media/web conversation at Twitter—with a vengeance! As he does everything. So, eight months in, he has a lengthy collection of past tweets to share. Expect frequent updates to this, his Tweetbook. Thanks to the folks at www.tweetbook.in for making it easy for Tom to collect his Twitter postings so that we can offer it to readers of tompeters.com. If you'd like the Twitter stream directly, so that you can experience the immediacy of the conversation, follow Tom @tom_peters. If not already, sign up for your own Twitter account. He is responding to many tweets directed his way. Try it!
Though our Cool Friend Chris Brogan suggests that getting a reply might not be the only reason you'd want to follow Tom on Twitter. Maybe you'll just get some inspiration.
ARCHIVES
Before blogging became all the rage, Tom was posting book reviews and Observations (essentially early blog posts) to this site. You can find the archives below.

Following "Tom's great adventures" in 140time on Twitter gives an interesting filtered view to ponder - agree, disagree or chuckle.
I'm glad Tom is using Twitter as a public "ubiquitous capture tool"!

Small business
1) Often we forget the little guy, the SMB, in our discussions of the comings and goings of the Internet marketing industry. Sure there are times like this when a report surfaces talking about their issues and concerns but, for the most part, we like to talk about big brands and how they do the Internet marketing thing well or not so well……..

I follow Tom with TweetDeck. Very nice app and it allow me to filter amongst my 100's of 'friends'.
Caution! Tom is a serial tweeter, so you will get 2-5 consecutive tweets. Read them in chronological order for fullest effect.
Hmmmm. Is serial tweeting cheating? Does it violate the premise and principal of 140? I think not. What do you think?

Just dropping by to say that tweetbook is a one-man effort by the industrious @vsr (http://twitter.com/vsr). He does take suggestions!

First, I think Twitter can be used in as many ways as there are people using it.
Second, in my case, I never imagine serially Tweeting. I write one, and then it suggests the next. And I sometimes let it flow until it burns out, seldom more than 4 or 5.

2) The Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ‘Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars. The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary……….
