What is twitter and why should you get it?
Twitter is another social networking site. Over the last year or so I have gone from Myspace, to Bebo (very briefly) and finally to Facebook. I have simply discarded my Myspace and Bebo account because the people I wanted to talk to weren’t actually using them. I was the last of my friends to get a Facebook account because I didn’t want to get suckered in.
I am currently using Facebook on a personal level. I have spoken to people who design applications to Facebook but it is sounds extremely hard to break into profits when making Facebook applications.
I have been reading around and I have decided to try and use Social Netorking on a professional level. It sounds like a daunting task trying to organise your accounts on the various sites but hopefuly I will manage.
The days of people becoming faceless and unpersonal as they step onto the online world are over. People are now deciding to show their faces if they are successful on the internet. It seems that the public want to know exactly who the people behind the pages are.
I have decided to begin using Twitter as the first way to market my site. I will try and make friends on twitter and encourage them to check out my blog every now and then. So what is Twitter? Twitter is a social networking site which gives users the options to send their current status to the site as text-based posts, or ‘tweets’. You can set your status to things like “cooking” or “having a BBQ with the lads”.
You can use Twitter to get in touch with other people on the internet which is what I will take advantage of to market my blog.
