Twitter

Twitter is something that helps people communicate with each other instantly.  It’s like a Facebook.  You have a page of what are closely similar to wall posts.  Twitter has many different uses, although like every other social network it can be abused; however at the same time it is very useful.  Twitter can be used for business.  There are various apps through Twitter that helps you use Twitter to help your business.  Twitter was invented to answer the question “What are you doing?”  However When Twittering for a business does that really matter? No, it doesn’t.  Twitter is a great way to get opinions.  It’s a great way to spread your ideas as well.  You could market your business to other people.  Twitter also has its positives and negatives.  Twitter can be very distracting. You could be in a big meeting and have the one guy not paying attention to a word your saying because he’s on Tweeting.  It is extremely easy to tweet with phones, computers, and now Ipods and Ipads, so there could be a certain someone not paying attention when he should be because he is tweeting.  Without strategy it’s really just typing.  If you plan to use this for your business you need to have a strategy for it.  Twitter can also be used as news feed.  Some people could witness something really amazing and want to share it with everyone.  Using Twitter you can follow what ever you want.  You can use Twitter to follow your favorite bands, athlete’s movie stars, you name it; you can follow who ever you want.  I personally am big into music and I could see myself using Twitter to follow musicians and learn about upcoming gigs and new music.
