By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jeff_Schuman] I have not really been much into social networking. I do blog and social bookmark, but keeping up to date with my FaceBook profile or joining MySpace has not really appealed to me. Now along comes Twitter which appears to be something worthwhile. So what is Twitter and what is so great about it?
Twitter is a combination of micro-blogging and social networking. It is growing by leaps and bounds and could provide many opportunities for you on both a personal and business basis.
You can update short messages of 140 characters or less to your followers which makes it more social like text messaging. My kids should love it since the text way more than actually talking on their cell phones.
I can see where this form of micro-blogging can give you several advantages from a business standpoint.
1. Speed- You can quickly keep your followers up to date even more so than your blog would. You can update via a web page, blog, cell phone. blackberry and so on.
2. Targeted traffic- This will grow as your number of followers grow.
3. Viral marketing- Creating a twit about yourself or your business can quickly take on a life of it's own to your followers and to their followers and so on.
4. Sell more thru branding. This allows you to build your credibility over time which can increase your website and blog visitors where you sell your products.
5. Promote your blog- When you do a worthwhile blog posts you can promote it on Twitter.
6. Much much more.....
There are many great resources out on Twitter. You can Google search Twitter and check those out.
