Do You Twitter and Tweet?
When I talk to clients about Twitter and tweeting, there is silence at the other end of the phone. Many have not heard of Twitter or know that when you use Twitter, you “tweet.” The main reason many do not know about Twitter is a vast majority are not yet Blogging — or if they are, they are not yet wholeheartedly involved as they should be to know, be aware of and use all the various tools out there.
Twitter is a micro-blog platform. It allows you to “follow” other people’s tweets which are 140 character blurbs about what they are up to. These tweets can also link to a post, such as my tweets do, on my Blog.
Here again is another nifty tool to tap into folks who prefer to follow those of like minds, associates, friends and even family by virtue of bite sized blurbs. Imagine the marketing potential! I’ve been tweeting for a while and have a list of folks who are following me. And by following their tweets I am exposed to new ideas and points of view.
You can see my Twitter tweets here…http://twitter.com/istudio. By choosing to follow me, you’ll get the first 140 characters of each post as they hit all three of my Blogs when I post.
As with any social media marketing or networking efforts the more you are involved and use a service or site the more you are able to build relationships, encourage contacts and form new partnerships. I know for a fact due to time constraints I’ve just tapped into the tip of the iceberg with Twitter and look forward to using it more wisely and aggressively as time permits.
Why not setup your Twitter account and start tweeting today? You just might be surprised how much fun you’ll have!
At your service,
Judith
