Is it a good idea to use tweets for testing?

Talking Points

Paul Jarvis’s experience testing with tweets
Why you need to identify an audience before running with a project
What to do if you don’t already have a large email list or Twitter following
Why you need to be able to describe your idea in a sentence or tweet
What the market is good at
Why it can be helpful when your followers shut down your ideas
When you’re pitching a new idea, you need constructive feedback, not unconditional encouragement
Make sure that you’re pitching to your target market
