What is a Twitter? Twitter is a text-based communication over the Internet, which allows friends, family, celebrities, and businesses to stay in communication with each other. Twitter can be used through many different applications like computer, phone, and numerous different websites. When someone notes what he or she are doing, or what they need to say on tweeter it is called a “tweet”. Tweeter was originally used for friends to let other friends or family know what they are doing at the current moment. Many businesses are beginning to realize the advertising and marketing opportunities through twitter.
Truthfully I think twitter is a bit much when it comes to personal use, and letting everyone know what you are doing at every moment. There are many other reasons people use twitter instead of just updating their current status, like following their favorite celebrities, favorite players, or for specials through businesses. I think twitter can be used as a great business opportunity for all kinds of businesses out there. It helps the business stay in contact with recent customers and may help get new ones. I think twitter could help professional writers because it helps let the customer learn more about the company. Twitter can also be helpful if you use it to listen to what people want; and create something based of that. It also helps with the customer service because it is a “real time” communication. Twitter is now one of the highest-ranking websites, and I believe it will continue to grow.

I agree that tweeting every minute about whats going on personally is a bit much. It is a good idea for company to use it. good job!
ReplyDeleteDaniel,
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job explaining the functions of a Twitter. The only thing, next time you could use more spacing, possibly bullet points to organize the text little better. Overall I find this post helpful.
I agree with both of you about tweeting is a bit much. I would find it hard/annoying trying to tell everyone what i am doing 24/7.
ReplyDeleteYes, good points about tweeting in the professional world. I use tweeting for sharing resources or links with my colleagues in the teaching world.
