- Immediately start using Twitter Search this application lets you listen for your name, your competitor's name and any related words.
- Be wary of always pimping yourself. Your fans will love it but others will tune out.
- Share the human side of your company. You are own Twitter for a reason and that means you value the public and honest conversation.
- Comment on other tweets and retweet to build a strong community.
- Twitter at company events etc. This will help create a backchannel for all your followers to listen.
Twitter is a revolutionary site and I am happy too understand why I need to participate and effectively help my future business.
Clare I really like your bullets I think it explained Brogan's article perfectly. I also have realized how important Twitter is. I originally thought to delete it but now I am reconsidering. What about you? Will you keep it after this semester?
ReplyDeleteI liked how you pointed out about not "pimping yourself" a great tip from Brogan
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, Clare! At first I was frustrated and confused with Twitter and the uses of it, but now I am confident about what it is and how to use it. It is going to benefit us all in our future. I am looking forward to seeing Twitter in my career after graduation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great comments guys! I am going to continue and use Twitter after this semester. Like Ariel pointed out Twitter can really benefit us and I think by sticking with it it's going to get easier and more beneficial.
ReplyDeleteClare, I like what you mention at the very end of your post: You're appreciative to now understand the importance that building Twitter account of your own can have on finding a career in the future.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I have recently begun to understand the benefits of Twitter, and with this growing awareness and understanding, I find I enjoy tweeting more as well as using other Social Media sites.
