Posted by Guest on December 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment
It would not take a genius to guess you know what Twitter is. While the state of the economy is, at last, showing signs of recovering; driving new business and retaining customers continues to be a battle. Subsequently, marketers are working overtime with a host of strategies. Key amongst these, Twitter is winning a lot of new business
If, by chance, you aren’t familiar with Twitter, you can easily locate a quick Twitter introduction online.
That is not to say that other platforms do not have a place; of course they do. Twitter would not be anywhere near as much fun if we were all forced to use it; human nature, (rip MJJ), if nothing else.
However, the beauty of Twitter is in its ease of use; for readers and posters alike. Other than changing a few settings once creating your account, and the occasional background change; you can do everything from your tweet entry box.
Direct public messages can be sent with the inclusion of the @ symbol and then the user name of whomever it is you wish to, whilst private messages can be sent in much the same way; substituting the @ for a D.
Just as easy; is developing your network of followers. With profiles easy to check and a host of ways to join in; significant numbers can be yours within days. Relevant, pithy and informative postings taken for granted of course. Many find that using a personalized background for Twitter helps attract followers, because it distinguishes you from other users.
It would be challenging to come up with a company that could not get Twitter to work for them. I can of course think of certain areas where it would be most effective; professional writers, musicians, comedians; anybody that aims to entertain or inform. After all, Twitter is a social (entertaining) platform.
It is a great tool particularly for alerting your followers to breaking news, sudden changes in circumstances and even special deals. People like to feel wanted, and being on Twitter is showing your customers you care in many respects.
It would not be too risky of me to suggest other networking sites will come online, and is therefore not too risky to suggest Twitter will be superceded. However, as of right now Twitter is the best in its field. Happy Tweeting!
