First there was CaribTweet.com now their Folkstown.com. The site CaribTweet.com, Twitter for Caribbean small talk, launched just in January this year while Folkstown-Exploring Caribbean Conversations, which I discovered from a Twitter link has just launched in beta. While CaribTweet.com seems to have stuck to making their site a social hub, Folkstown has a different kind of talk it seems. On their site they say “Folkstown.com is only a glimpse into what’s on people’s minds. For Caribbean marketers, Twitter provides you with an effective way of spotting new trends, conversation topics and points of view.” With folkstown.com you can read incoming tweets, suggest a Caribbean Twitter user and you can check for the top tags. In fact it kinda reminds me of a Caribbean version of wefollow.com.

Again, I used wefollow.com, which is a user-powered Twitter directory to track how many twitterers we had under the Jamaica tag/category. WeFollow.com has grown to become pretty much the Billboard Chart for Twitter follower standings, the current industry standard and most influenftial Twitter directory.
The top 12 Jamaican Twitterers list was developed by using this single directory with the sole determinant being- how many followers/subscribers does each Twitterer have. What I found was that the top 12 people/sites/individuals/companies with the most followers in the Jamaica tag/category are:

Dancehall.Mobi special update – Twitter is a free social messaging utility for staying connected in real-time. It allows users to send and read other users’ updates that are known as ‘tweets’.

In a word, Twitter has taken the world by STORM. Numerous international artistes including P. Diddy (437,276 followers as at April 9, 2009) and Soulja Boy (240,861 followers as at April 9, 2009) are already using it with good effect to build their personal brands and connect with fans all over the world.

But what about dancehall / reggae artistes? There are a few who are already on Twitter (we’ve provided a list below), but by and large our artistes have ignored (or not caught on to) Twitter. Why should dancehall / reggae artiste be on Twitter? Here’s our top 5 list of reasons:
