I have to admit the very first time I heard about Twitter I didn’t pay much attention to it at all. I just couldn’t get my head around, much less become inspired to use the micro blogging service.
However after attending one of Lynn Terry’s weekly Internet Marketing webinars she announcement that she would be experimenting with Twitter to evaluate whether it would be of benefit to her online business.
What Is Twitter
Twitter is a micro blogging service whereby users can announce to your regular followers and new visitors “What are you doing?” in one short sentence (up to 200 characters) for your Followers to read.
Login to Twitter.com and type in your text message or use AIM, Gtalk, Jabber or use your mobile phone to send SMS text messages direct to your Twitter account.
That’s it!
Key Benefits of Using Twitter
I have seen a steady increase in the number of visitors to my websites from Twitter and a daily influx of new “Followers”. Many more new blog and newsletter subscribers too as a result.
I have several Twitter accounts to fit into each separate niche I find it is quick and simple to use and is beneficial to my business.
Set up a meeting with someone or a group of people.
Ask others questions sand get a response in real time.
Similar Services
There many other similar micro blogging services like Tumblr, Jaiku and Mixin to name a few. I haven’t tried the others out yet, however I have word that Tumblr is a favorite with some of my online friends. However I am finding that if I get caught up with other task I tend to have a back load of “Things to do” to catch up with, sorting through friends requests and scanning comments on social networks.
I must manage my time more effectively.
I highly recommend twitter especially as I can be used as a quick way to send direct messages that they can respond to in real time. I’m sure you appreciate how versatile Twitter is for networking and sharing events with your friends.
