Social media controversy will come and go, but the one about Tweeter Getter is not likely to be gone soon.

Twitter has become an effective marketing too to network with others. It is possible to build a large following…For those who don't know, Twitter is the best networking tool you can use today to attract prospects and build relationships for business.

Tweeter Getter is very controversial tool being promoted to increase your followers on Twitter.

Initially, people like Mike Klinger of Marketing Merge/Renegade Professional, hesitated to share it but after studying the debate he decided to join and let other people know about it.

I’m started using Tweeter Getter before Mike’s wrote a review and over night I had 532 more people following me on Twitter.

An opportunity like this is rare... it is doubtful that something like this will be available again for Twitter and the buzz will end quickly. This is half social experiment and the other half exciting.

Mike acknowledges that this tool certainly does have the potential to give you a short cut to building your Twitter follower list. The faster you take action (takes about 30 seconds) the bigger it can grow your list.

The controversy: Mike Klingler’s view…

Promoting this link is considered by some on Twitter to be quite annoying. If you go to search.twitter.com and type in tweetergetter you will be able to read from all the people who hate it (and some who like it).

I've been watching this all night and, indeed, many of those who used the tool and promoted it have very fast growing Twitter followers. Even some newbie types have been able to see growth with it. So from that standpoint it does work (but I am sure not for long).

The problem is that many 'non marketers' do not believe in short cuts to building a list or following. On the other end you have people who love the power of exploring the impact of exponential development on the human experience (usually marketers looking for a short cut).

Some of the marketers with big reputations won't promote it because they are rightfully afraid of how that will be perceived by 'non marketers' or other 'successful' marketers who frown on short cuts.

Mike explain more in the updated article why using Tweeter Getter to build your list actually helps you provide more value to more people AFTER they get on your list. And since the nature of Twitter is that many people follow you without you ever knowing.

If you decide to use this tool, I suggest you share it others--focus on sharing it through other channels and discuss the pros and cons.

In summary, I believe this is a great way to build your Twitter list and attract quality relationships. I feel Tweeter Getter is 100% in line with how Twitter should be used.
