Twitter

What is a better way to get involved in social media than Twitter?  If unfamiliar with twitter, the best way to understand  this social media source is by getting directly involved by creating your own account.   

Known for the infamous hashtag (#), Twitter allows users to search for or find a main keyword(s) that is relevant to a specific tweet.  Another great tool twitter uses is the @ sign, allowing users to directly include a username in their tweets.  Not only that, but Twitter posts are limited to 140 characters each, so the information is very brief and concise, getting to the point.  

In regards to a company, Twitter is great in the sense of promoting a service or product because many people tweet about them, giving their opinions and recommendations. It is always a great idea for a company to be directly involved in social media, including Twitter.  You can gain followers to keep current and potential customers in the loop.  Another great way to use Twitter and social media in general is to see and monitor what is being said about your company.  

So, if you don't already have an account, all you need to do is go to www.twitter.com and click "sign up". From there, you are asked for basic information.  Then, you can create your own unique Twitter username and password.  Once that is completed, you are ready to go and can start using Twitter.  #ENJOY!
