What you get out of Twitter very much depends on who you follow, if you follow Dull Time Lines that aren’t relevant to you or spam accounts then your Twitter Experience will be disappointing, but if you follow the right people then Twitter comes to life and it will bring you a great deal of entertainment.

Two of the celebrities in my timeline are the very successful business man and entrepreneur Lord Sugar and former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan who are currently involved in ongoing banter.

They have made a bet with each other where who ever has the least Twitter followers on Christmas day has to donate £5000 to the Great Ormond Street Charity. Lord Sugar joined Twitter first so has an advantage but Piers has joined CNN and is well known for his work on the ITV1 show Britain’s Got Talent and is gaining Followers everyday.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter who wins, both will end up with a lot of followers, and the true winner will the the fantastic Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, but both men deserve a pat of the back for this innovative use of Social Media to raise money for and awareness of this worth while cause.

Not to mention the fantastic entertainment that their witty banter brings to your Twitter Time Line.

Niche Websites focus on a very specific subject, this means that there is less potential traffic for your website to catch but there is potentially less competition for that traffic, so the goal is to become a big fish in a small pond.

By using tools like Market Samurai it’s possible to identify low competition keywords which can then help you choose a niche market to create a website for.

I believe I’ve identified a potential niche and I’ve purchased a domain name to use for a niche blog so that I can experiment to see if I can get any success.
