Resources for learning how to use twitter for business
Using Twitter for Business – Perhaps!
Maybe the siren’s call of twitter (everybody’s doing it) has become too much and you’ve jumped in. Or, maybe you have no clue what it is or why you would care. I get asked enough about this mircoblogging tool that I thought I would create a practical guide for business folks wrestling with yet another social media outpost.
What is it?
In simplest terms, twitter is a free service that allows anyone to say almost anything to anybody in 140 characters or less – it’s the “what are you doing right now” kind of micro-blogging that permeates online social communication.
So, now the question is – is that all? Well, no, not exactly.
