I’ve posted in the past about about Dell’s claim that Twitter has driven $3 million in sales since it began operation in 2007. Personally, I have always been suspicious about these grandiose claims that seem to lack any kind of back up statistics. Now, at a Twitter for Brands event hosted by New Media Age in London on Friday, Dell representatives said they have seen tangible uplifts in sales which can be directly attributed to marketing on Twitter. Moonfruit, a website builder, said Twitter campaigns have helped the brand, by spending around 10,000 pounds ($16,400) on prizes for the campaign, and that it brought in more than twice that amount in a single month in new subscriptions… OK, so where the fuck are the $3 million in sales. Can someone please show me the hard fucking numbers? This is the same shit that we had thrust down our throats last month about how Twitter generated $48 million in free publicity, thanks to the Iranian Twitter revolution. So fucking what… How much did these wankers actually make?
