Twitter

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author’s profile page and delivered to the author’s subscribers who are known as followers.

Simplicity has played an important role in Twitter’s success. Twitter asks one question, What are you doing? Answers must be under 140 characters in length and can be sent via mobile texting, instant message or the web. It is possible to include links to web pages in Tweets.

Despite its growing popularity, Twitter is, arguably, not as essential an application for dive stores as Facebook, image hosting and blogs are. Nevertheless, if you use Twitter, there is no reason you can’t follow some of the same guidelines as you do for Facebook in marketing your business. Here are some additional ideas.
