Just cannot connect with Twitter and making everything so short and snappy. You can’t say anything with passion unlike a blog where you can rant and rave…and I do like to do that now and then!!
Then use a tool like Twitterfeed to automatically post a link and short blurb of your blog posts to your Twitter followers!
Nice informative post. I have used twitter and found TweetDeck very useful.
I’d have to agree with Anna. I started using Twitter about a month ago and tweeting only 140 characters just doesn’t work well for me.
yup, i agree. Twitter is the Bomb!
@Anna and John, people using this tool to express whats happening in their life right now, ofcourse to express our feelings in full we need a blog, blog and twitter are two different tools for different purpose, both has its own importance…..
I do agree with Chetan,blog and twitter are two different tools.Twitter can be used to broadcast your company’s latest news and blogs. Twitter enable easy internal collaboration and group communication.
I have just started using Twitter for business, and you really can use it asa valuable business tool. You can post your latest information, such as deliveries, new deals etc , I am really adding it to my lists of must do daily events.
me too agree with you.. twitter is a very good social platform, and it allows easy group communication
Where can I get Hoot Suite for Twitter?
Yeah 140 characters is not enough but who unfollowed me app looks pretty amazing!! thank you
Are those apps really necessary? I only use hootsuite… Well guess I’m far from a social media expert… lol
No, those app are not necessary, BUT they are very useful for those who want to manage their account as well as they can and to improve the efficiency of their work 😉
