Oddly enough at a TechStart meeting on Friday I also heard that a Twitter account was pretty much mandatory. Guy who was the target of the advice tried to duck out with the 'I'm not a tech guy' but was bullied into it by the rest of the crowd :)

Hi there, that is an interesting one. I think you are absolutely right, the Twitter account which goes together with your blog is absolutely key.

We launched our Twitter account simultaneously with our blog and it is our biggest driver of traffic :)

I fully agree that having a blog is a must, and not just for startups. On a side note,

<shameless-plug>I'm writing a book that will help developers and startups build successful blogs. It's going to be published by The Pragmatic Bookshelf. You can signup here: http://technicalblogging.com </shameless-plug>

Hi Antonio, thanks for the comment.

Yes, I think there are just so many benefits to it that it can't be ignored.

Thanks, your book idea sounds awesome, will definitely check it out! :)

I don't really see why people felt the need to downvote, it seemed like he was doing a shameless plug entirely appropriately.

Self promotion, but at Blogic we hope to make it super easy to add a blog when your startup has a site already (we'll match your site theme automatically).

Hi Alan,

Just checked out Blogic, I think it is a brilliant idea, have you had any customers yet?

We don't have the product ready for testing yet, but we have heard from people who expect to use it once it's available.

Am I the only one bothered that the bullets are out of order?

Hehe, thanks for the heads up, just changing it now! :)
