What is Twitter? Social Marketing Made Fun!

What is Twitter?

 

After Utterz, By Far, Twitter is one of my most Favorite Social Media Applications.

So What Exactly Is it?

What is Twitter?

Twitter is for staying in touch and keeping up with friends no matter where you are or what you’re doing. For some friends you might want instant mobile updates—for others, you can just check the web. Invite your friends to Twitter and decide how connected you want you to be.

How does Twitter work?

When you send in a mobile text (SMS), Twitter sends it out to your group of friends and posts it to your Twitter page. Your friends might not have phone alerts turned on so they may check your web page instead. Likewise, you receive your friends mobile updates on your phone.

How much does it cost?

Twitter is a free service. At some point they may introduce optional, for-pay features or services but basic usage will remain free. Note: with phone alerts turned on, Twitter makes use of texting or SMS so check with your mobile provider to find out if this will cost you extra.

How Does Twitter help me Get Free Traffic and Targeted Leads?

First and foremost, you have to keep in mind, that like any other Social Media Platform, the intention is to be “Social”. I’ve met some of the coolest people on Twitter, including Alejandro Reyes of Successfool.com (Look forward to a Recorded Audio Interview with Alejandro Reyes very soon!)

In Networking, making Connections and building relationships is KEY!

I always make it a point to start conversations with people (you can do this using the @ symbol) using Direct Messages, and also finding people who have common interests as you do and start following them!

It’s a Reciprocating community, so usually, when you follow someone, they’ll end up following you…

Now you just have to be interesting enough so that people keep up with your updates!

Here’s another Terrific, or should I say, “Twitterific” feature of twitter, especially if you have an Ipod Touch, or an Iphone.

Twitterrific is a Mac OS X client for the social networking site Twitter, created by The Iconfactory. …  You can Download it Right Here, for your Iphone and Ipod Touch.

Here is what Twitterific looks like on the screen of an Ipod Touch or IPhone

What I LOVE about Twitterific is that it highlights all your Direct Messages or @ conversations so you can see who has been being social with you. This totally beats having to go to the website and scroll for pages on end to see if anyone has tried to strike up a conversation with you. and with the Cool Scrolling feature of the Ipod Touch and Iphone, finding your friendliest buddies is really a cinch!
