It became readily apparent to me — using Twitter — that the popular microblogging platform is, indeed, a great marketing solution. I’ve read about Twitter now being used as one of the tools in an internet marketers arsenal. Using the service. I have to agree; it gives internet marketing a powerful set of features that will bring a new dimension to marketing. The problem is that it will take a real tech-savvy person to take advantage of Twitter for marketing initiatives.

That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to discover Tweet Whistle. This wonderful little app is a powerful marketing tool that makes marketing your blog, web site, product or service on Twitter with ease. The reason for this is that Tweet Whistle automates many of Twitter’s functions, which makes it easier to control the features of the service. For example, you can automate your Twitter posts and easily find followers who will be more receptive to your marketing message.

I downloaded the trial version of Tweet Whistle at http://www.tweetwhistle.com/ and played with it for over a month before buying the retail version, which incidentally is sold at quite a low price it makes Tweet Whistle one of the most affordable Twitter marketing software on the net. I have to say, it really is an effective tool that should be purchased by anyone who really wants to benefit from marketing through Twitter.

I recently found out that Tweet Whistle is conducting a contest. The winner of the contest will receive a licensed copy of Tweet Whistle and $25 in cash that will be paid through PayPal. If you want to join, just follow these instructions:
