We should talk. Twitter has the most potential if used properly. You need more than a simple use “@reply post” strategy. You need a full social media strategy that is manageable, somewhat automated, and complete. tweet me @IsItIndie and lets connect on my next launch for the Social Music Launch Plan

If were you I would do a relaunch of the album. Release 2-3 new tracks that tie in the theme of the album to have something to promote and do it through video. I always do this:
1. Create unique tracks -
2. Create videos for those tracks on youtube. (use fiverr.com to get awesome graphics and videos for $5.
3. Create a contest to promote the launch - i.e. giveaway 10 copies to the top fans who post a video telling you why they love the album (seeing as how it has been out for a while).
4. Schedule a series of tweets that lead up to an "online launch party" on ustream.com - @TaylorWardMusic is a great example of using integrated social media to create interest.

As always, be authentic. Even ask your fans what they like best about you to see where to go with your promotion. Companies do this all the time, why not us?

Twitter can be used for everything and I just read a few blog articles about twitter and twitter music applications. That probably answers your question.
