• Microblogging platform• Can be incredibly powerful tool for business owners and
marketers• BUT takes time, effort and persistence to build up a
community• It is much more chatty (Dialogue) than Facebook• Businesses need to think about all their constituencies
when using Twitter• Not just for customers – partners, media, pr etc…• Great for thought leadership
What is it?
• Tweet = 140 Characters• @someone – talk to someone (everyone sees it)• DM Someone – prviate message - only the
people FROM and TO see it• RT – retweet – a lot of people retweet content
that others have written & posted
It’s a Different Medium Than Facebook – and it can be difficult
Must know what you want to achieve through it and who you will be talking to
Find someone with a function, who has something interesting to say – and can say it
well
And get them to engage at a granular level
Build up community overtime
