What is Twitter?

  • Twitter and business opportunities

    TwitterTwitter is the second largest social networking website with an estimated  190 million users. In short it is a website which offers a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read messages called tweets.

    Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user’s profile page. Tweets are publicly visible. Users may subscribe to other users’ tweets—this is known as following and subscribers are known as followers.

    Now, let’s consider from a business perspective…

    Does the following sound appealing?

    • A new target audience estimated to be approaching 190 million users where you are privy to their thoughts and opinions?
    • Building your own networks where you can run promotions en masse at the press of a button? Even automating them all?
    • Climbing aboard the second Internet boom (known as Web 2.0) and arming yourself with the necessary knowledge to succeed?
    • Harnessing the power of an already proven audience where companies  have already announced $millions in sales purely from their Twitter channel?

    The key is to build up a following on Twitter – these become your  audience and potential clients – they are effectively “subscribing” to your announcements, leading to sales opportunities.
