If you have any doubt as to the powers of Twitter, take note that Dell says it has earned $3 million dollars directly through Twitter since 2007 -- that little tweeting bird built quite a nest egg for the computer company. Whether or not your blog will rake in the dough through Twitter is up for question, but tweeting your way through the day can only help increase your blog's traffic. One needn’t be a corporate giant like Dell to reap the rewards of Twitter. Even small bakeries in rural towns are outfitting themselves with oven-gadgets that automatically announce when fresh baked goods are available. We can all have a piece of the Twitter pie. Twitter doesn’t discriminate, but acts as a useful business building tool for the tiniest ventures to the most well known brands. Here’s a list of the top five Twitter reads for bloggers.
