[...] Mark Lee and I disagree on whether Twitter is useful to accountants. I say yes, he says no. When you see how they’re currently using it in the US then you have to ask about the hidden utility of these services. // About This Post Posted by Dennis Howlett on May 29th, 2009 and filed under Innovation, Marketing.

The accountants are behind the curtain of an institute. Accountants are backbone of an organization, but most neglected group. Therefore most of the accountants are hesitate to come out of the curtain!!!!!

Since writing the above I have become aware of more UK accountants and tax advisers who are also experimenting with twitter. So much so that I started a league/listing for UK accountants and tax people. It's on the Tax Advice Network site. At the time of writing it has about 50 people listed.

At one level I agree with your comments and not only for Accountants, but bricks and mortar business owners generally perhaps.

While there is not necessarily a direct upside to getting involved in online networking, and the road to ‘success’ (whatever that is) can be slow and expensive in terms of time expended, nevertheless I think there is something to be said for looking ‘outside the Bunker’, and especially so for those who advise other business owners.

One never knows who one may meet on Twitter, that will change the way we view life or busines…

Thanks Mark, great article and I agree with you that using Twitter wont help the operational side.

We blog and use twitter, its early days we have a few followers, and its growing. But we can track stats on the blog and the articles are read regularly and new sign ups on the website are comming through steadily.

We are active on forums too.

It takes time and commitment, but we are happy with the results too.

Excellent and very interesting blog Mark.

When I talk to small businesses about Twitter, I get greeted with a “so what?” It is certainly true that at the moment it is more for Internet marketing with a gradual shift into mainline marketing to peers.
