Twitter - the misunderstood
I remember when the internet came to fame. Of course I do not recall Al Gore involved at the time but that is quite another story. The biggest question was "How are we gonna make any money with this thing?" It wasn't too long after that, that pay sites ie; adult came into play and then the likes of Amazon came along. Today the internet accounts for 22% of household spending including bill paying etc. (That figure I did make up) but you get the point. Now the internet is so important we have it on our phones. Who would ever have thought.
Not meaning to get away from the topic, now comes the new kid aptly named twitter. When you send out a "micro blog" that is called a tweet. Now all the hip and cool people are sending out tweets about going to the club with friends. "I am taking my kid to the doctor." "I just made breakfast for the family". Come on who really cares? Of course it might make people feel cool, like the are the new celebs, or some stupid drivel like that.
So I never quite got it..... what use is this twitter? Well dear friends it is the new medium of bringing pertinent news and information to a unique group. I was fortunate enough to have this shown to me by someone with incredible forsight into the digital future. Pat Allen was so excited to share the power of twitter. Her site is http://www.rocktheboatmarketing.com/ She is a marketing expert in the financial industry. We all know that finances are anything but funny and playful and most people in that industry are pretty serious players. Even moreso with the developments of the last year. Follow Pat on twitter and you will be amazed at the information she is sharing.
More on how to use Twitter- I am hoping that Pat will perhaps chime in at sometime and bring some added wisdom and insight. I will admit I am only now "just getting it".
