Twitter: Incredibly Valuable Or Utterly Useless As A Link Building Tool?

"Where I see the real value in Twitter as a link building tool is in recognizing 
that many people who use Twitter have influence in very specific subject areas.  If 
I’m announcing a niche health related web site, I can do a bit of research and 
quickly find which Twitter users are regularly tweeting similar health related 
URLs, and reach out to them, outside of Twitter.

...

"One of those re-tweets came from a librarian at a med school web site, who did one 
more thing with that URL. She added a link to it from the med school web site she’s 
in charge of editing.  What started to her as a tweet ended as a permanent link 
from her high trust web page."

"Ten guards and the warden couldn't have torn me out of those books. Months passed 
without even thinking about being imprisoned....I had never been so truly free in 
my life." - Malcolm X 

"Some kids go to the library ... Others to the street. But they can't go to the 
libraries if the libraries are closed." - Officer Dombranski, NYPD 

"The best morals kids get from any book is just the capacity to empathize with 
other people, to care about the characters and their feelings. So you don’t have to 
write a preachy book to do that. You just have to make it a fun book with 
characters they care about, and they will become better people as a result." - 
Louis Sachar
