How Twitter Is Driving Businesses Forward

By Catherine Scott


It would not take a genius to guess you know what Twitter is. Equally, it would not take thought of mind-boggling powers to guess you are on there yourself, (or selves)? If you are not, perhaps you may want to reconsider that. Go on; off you go... I'll wait.

That is not to say that other platforms do not have a place; of course they do. Twitter would not be anywhere near as much fun if we were all forced to use it; human nature, being what it is.

The secret to its success is not really much of a secret really; being down to the simplicity of it. Once logged in, you are free to do what you wish from the comfort of your home page.

Direct public messages can be sent with the inclusion of the @ symbol and then the user name of whomever it is you wish to, whilst private messages can be sent in much the same way; substituting the @ for a D.

Just as easy; is developing your network of followers. With profiles easy to check and a host of ways to join in; significant numbers can be yours within days. Relevant, pithy and informative postings taken for granted of course.

It would be challenging to come up with a company that could not get Twitter to work for them. Whilst yes, others may find it more of a use, it is a universal platform. This is not only evidenced in the number of users of course, but in the n number of different types of user!

It is a great tool particularly for alerting your followers to breaking news, sudden changes in circumstances and even special deals. People like to feel wanted, and being on Twitter is showing your customers you care in many respects.

It would not be too risky of me to suggest other networking sites will come online, and is therefore not too risky to suggest Twitter will be superseded. However, as of right now Twitter is the best in its field. Happy Tweeting!
