What is Twitter?

Twitter is a website for ‘Micro Blogging’ which means very short blogs of a maximum 140 Character in Length. If you use facebook people liken Twitter to the status box. This seems like a weird concept but combine this with the ability to ‘follow’ people it becomes strangely addictive and becomes more like a combination or a chat room and Instant Messengers like Skype and MSN Messenger (now live messenger).

Following People on Twitter

When I first heard about following people on twitter I was a little unsure but what it actually means is to keep up to date with people rather than following them down the road! This means that you can easily keep up to date with peoples and businesses recent happenings from one easy place.

So, we now have a page like many other people, but why use twitter for business?

Twitter for Marketing

Twitter can be very beneficial for businesses and companies are beginning to sign up in their droves, but why?

Keep Your Clients Up to Date

Twitter is a greate way of keeping your clients and prospective clients up to date with your latest happenings or releases. Why not use Twitter to update people when you release a new product or feature?

Easy to Update

Twitter is really simple to update, you update your twitter page by sending a quick text message (or use a form online) this means that people in your organisation that don’t have time to blog (or say they don’t) can easily send updates to twitter. By sending updates people will see that there is a lot going on at your company.

Create an Online Audience Easily

It is really easy to follow people on twitter and you will be really surprised how many people will follow you back. This means that you can create a decent sized online audience very easily and get your word out to those people. Word of mouth is always a fantastic form or advertising and by 100 people following you they can then advice their friends how good your product or service is. People tend to like to tell people when they have seen something new that might help so by being up to date you may be the company that they mention.

Keep any Eye on Your Brand

Use the Twitter Search you can see who is talking about your company and see what they are saying about your products and service. This kind of feedback is in valuable as things like market and customer research can so easily be skewed by personalities and relationships.

Twitter is Fun

Twitter is also surprisingly fun and very addictive so why not try it out. But be warned you may find yourself updating your profile more often than you expect!
