That's right! I've died of boredom and I'm blogging from the after-life...
During my daily scan of the social networks I was foolish enough to browse all the Tweets that contained the term 'Search Engine Optimisation' - the dreary procession of so-called Internet marketing companies who had tweeted 'Great SEO here...' or 'SEO guru for hire...' bored me to death.

Social networking, including business social networking is not all about 'look at me! me! me!' It's about contributing to the on-line community with a little of your knowledge and experience to make the Internet a better more useful place.
Tweets have to be eye-catching, and the content they link to should be remarkable. No one cares about an SEO company who thinks it's the best in the world - even if it is. Much better they talk about how to solve a problem their potential clients may have.
So, I lay down a challenge to all business tweeters: let's see who can come up with the most eye-catching, remarkable (yet not misleading) tweet.
