freelance84 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 ok... could anyone enlighten me as to the purpose of twitter for a business? I don't get it. Is it so people can talk about your site amongst others on the twitter? Or am i meant to post endless crap on there in the hope that some sad ba$%ar! is reading it all. I've been clicking around a bit on a few twitter pages (the latest a member on this site) and i truly cannot see the point. Facebook. Ok. Thats a business page displaying a bit of info and is pretty straighforward. Linked in, business contacts. But asside from celebs and their stalkers. What on earth is the true beneficial purpose of twitter? (all aside, i will undoubtedly get myself a twitter account at some point, but only acting on heard the mentality that 'everyone else is' and safety is in numbers. Also it seems popular for every site to have a bunch of the little social site icons littering every page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I was against the twitter rush for the longest time, but I finally caved in. I use my twitter feed for a mix of business and pleasure, however I typically read instead of tweeting myself. For businesses, it is good because it provides (and used to be one of the fewer) real-time interaction where you can have people follow see that you are having site issues, or a new feature was launched, etc. For personal, it's nice to be able to follow celebs or follow vendors and their news/blogs.

freelance84 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hmm, i hadn't thought about the aspect of alerting people when my site goes down. That's cool. However facebook can do that too, but i suppose sending a message from 2 sources isn't that bad. But then there's google+ too... Are there any site that allow a business to upload messages to all 3 social sites in one go? That would be handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
