I like your observation that tweeting is an easy way for contractors to stay up to date with consumer events in their territory, share views of those events, and in turn build followers and membership in the community.. As you state, building an online brand on Twitter with your local community is certainly distinctive, and will help you stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, I agree that to gain value from Tweeting requires a dedicated effort. I can see the challenge that a regional home improvement contractor would have prioritizing this effort. Thus, I recognize that for home improvement contractors, Twitter should be somewhere down on the priorities, below other methods to gain immediate calls and to build SEO ranking. However, the channel is still emerging and maturing, and I would not suggest that anyone ignore it or write it off as an amusing fad.
