Best Business Blog

Yep good old twitter!!

Anyone else enjoying it at present?

I have been on twitter now for nearly two years and have seen the rather dramatic uptake recently with celebrities such as Stephen Fry and others joining in and talking about it.

So what is it?

Mini blogging, or another form of networking via that old thing called the Internet. You join up, get yourself a username then head off in to the big yonder and find like minded people to chat to. You are given 140 characters, so watch out for text speak taking over sometimes so you can get your meaning across, and you then start telling the world what is hopefully, useful information or just silly information perhaps.

Don’t fall in to the the trap though of just ‘twittering’ about your breakfast and how many cups of coffee you had etc, make them either silly, funny or informative, and also don’t constantly link to your business or site. You will soon have people stop following you as its perceived as spam.

Its like any community, treat it with respect and enjoy it and you will soon find yourself with some new friends on it.

If anyone wants to see what its all about or even just come chatting to me on it, head over to twitter.com and search for gilliemillie.
