It does not take a rocket scientist to understand the value, for instance, of Twitter for instant feedback on a product, service, or copy.
But most people do not realize the value of a group like this one for market testing: case in point: we are about to launch a replacement for e-Lance and Rent-a-Coder for the buying and selling of digital media products and services of all kinds including websites, video, and marketing – all free, with nothing standing in the way of the transactions (sort of like a free dating site for business, with the best features of Linked-in, Facebook, Meetup.com.)

RE: The Value of Social Media for Market Testing – This is a test…
Cora L Johnson,Realtor, GRI, ePRO, RECS Dec 26, 2009 (Realtown Tech Group)
I really appreciate your concise definition of Twitter. i must admit I am neither a rocket scientist or a Guru and the value of some of the social concepts have not really grabbed me. Your use of the term NOD is cute yet the way you use it indicates some cumulative value, so is there a prize for the most NODS in relation to your contest. Is there some other trading value down the line? 1. Graphics great 10 2. Concept has great potential, though still not clear for sole proprietor use. 9 3. Copy very well done although there were a couple of spelling errors that need to be addressed. You said “Innovation and acknowledgement are the bricks and motor” From your construction analogy I’m sure you meant mortar. In any respect your copy is catchy and clear. 9 4. No additions at this time 10 5. Role any and all listed roles have positive prospects. 10

I agree with the comments by Cora above. I only have a few minutes here on the site but was intrigued by the “message” and drawn in! It seems like a picky point, but I know you are looking for feedback so before I jump off-line I wanted to point out the typo – “BUY bringing together in the simplest way possible the best features…” Best of luck!
