Everyone is talking about the monetization of Twitter. Socialize means monetize in the web 2.0 world.  The site boasts millions of unique visits a day and monumental growth from 2008 to 2009. But are they making any money?  The answer is who gives a shitttte if Twitter makes money. 

The question all of us should be asking is how can MY BUSINESS make money with Twitter?

Dell seems to be answering this question very well. It’s being reported that Dell is crediting Twitter for $6.5 million in sales. Dell had reported earlier in the year that Twitter was responsible for only $3 million in sales but in the last 6 months as popularity for the social networking site has grown even more, they have made an additional $3.5 million in sales.

DellOutlet provides a combination of services. Dell employees will Tweet daily deals, customer service responses, and tech support, you know the Twitter stuff:)

Although $6.5 million is less than one percent of Dell’s yearly profits, it’s still a strong indication of Twitter’s potential for sales. Dell has committed 100 employees to their Twitter efforts. It will be interesting to see how they step up their game in light of these profits, 2010 is around the corner and wondering what’s up their sleeve?!?!?
