What Is Twitter
Is Twitter mystifying?
Twitter is similar to blogging only there is a limit to how much you can say in your post, which is why Twitter is commonly referred to as ‘micro blogging’. You can type up to one hundred and forty characters each time you tweet which keeps things short and to the point of course rather than rambling on about various topics.
The best way to utilise Twitter is to remind yourself that every time you post a tweet the intention is to share something of interest to your followers. Read the rest of this entry »
Twitter Accounts
Is there a reason that you would want to have not just one but two or more Twitter accounts?
Well there is a reason but does Twitter allow it? As far as we know at the time of this article, yes you are able to have multiple Twitter accounts. Why would you though? Well if you are running a business then it can be a wise move to only have an account that focuses on that business alone. Imagine your clients reading about the wild party you threw for a friend’s 40th! Well of course you wouldn’t tweet this but if you wanted to you couldn’t! So at the very least it’s a good idea to have one account for personal use and another for business.
Twitter Etiquette
Do you know the rules of Twitter when it comes to etiquette? When the cell phone came into our lives in a big way you might recall having to learn the etiquette around using it such as not talking loudly on your phone in a quiet restaurant! Well believe it or not there are some expectations generally about how to behave when it comes to using Twitter and here we’ll cover off some of the basics. If you’ve broken some of these unspoken rules don’t worry, just take note of them today and put your best Twitter foot forward from here on in.
It’s obvious to most people that spamming on Twitter or anywhere for that matter is just a big no no and trying to follow thousands of users in one day might be a little ‘off’ too. But what about the less obvious?
Twittering
If you think Twittering is a waste of time then you could be right but it all depends on what you’re using it for. Twitter, like many social marketing mediums, is becoming a very lucrative way to make money. If you think Twitter is a passing fad I think you might be mistaken. Twitter is really taking off and with many celebrities and politicians embracing it there is only those who Twitter and those who get left behind really.
You can indeed waste a ton of time on any online social network and Twitter is no exception. It really is all about how you prefer to make use of it if at all. Some people have reported landing jobs via Twitter, we all know that many jobs are never advertised, maybe it was a Twitter relationship that led to a private offer.
