I have actually been on twitter for quite some time. I joined the twitter revolution about a year ago, so I could browse celebrity tweets and make snarky comments from the anonymity of my computer. I soon realized that twitter was actually smarter than me. For example, if I selected to follow “green clothing” one day, Twitter show that I am an earth-friendly/eco conscious person to any/all other earth friendly manufacturers therefore allowing them to follow me and promote their business.

I probably stopped using twitter about six months ago because it can be kind of exhausting. The thing with Twitter is to be relevant you can’t just tweet once a day. Your tweet would go virtually unnoticed if you do. You have to continually tweet because if someone is following you plus 300 other people your one tweet would just keep getting pushed further back on their screen and they would have to search you if they wanted to see you lousy one tweet a day.

I think that for businesses Twitter can be a handy tool to announce sales/discounts/product launches/events. However, if a business is going to Twitter it must commit to it for Twitter to be a successful media for them. A person needs to be tweeting throughout the day as well as searching out other people to follow thereby increasing their online presence. They need to posting status updates by the hour!

So tweet to your hearts content because the more you tweet the more twitter relevant you will become!
