David Bain, 9-year internet marketing veteran and author of the '13 Pillars of Internet Marketing' shares his 7 reasons why he feels that Twitter will be the essential business networking tool of 2009.
Bain says: "Twitter has been growing at a phenomenal rate over the past few months - and it doesn't show any sign of stopping. And a significant percentage of those new users have been businesses. That's because Twitter is such a fantastically efficient way to network. I've pinpointed 7 key areas why businesses need to be using Twitter as a networking tool.

1) Network with an unlimited number of people

"You can obviously only talk to so many people at conventional business networking events. Other online networking sites like Facebook have limits on your number of online friends. Twitter has no limits on the number of people that you can follow.

2)  Build your reputation in your own industry

"Interacting on Twitter helps you build your reputation in your own industry. By continuing to grow your number of Twitter followers, you're showing that you know what you're talking about within your chosen field, thereby increasing your industry standing.

3)  It isn't based on pre-existing friendships

"You don't have to know people before you start networking on Twitter. If you follow someone because they may be of interest, and they post a tweet that is particularly relevant to you, that's an ideal time to strike up a conversation.

4)  Great source of referrals

"Once you start to contribute valuable tweets on a regular basis your followers will pay grater attention to what you're saying. They'll be more likely to 're-tweet' your posts and their followers will then be introduced to you and your message through the re-tweet.
