Social Networking sites are popping up everywhere! If you are involved in business, online marketing and/ or personal branding then you need to understand Twitter and the potential it has in helping you grow your business.

 

So what is Twitter? How is it different than Facebook and MySpace? Watch this video as it breaks down Twitter in Plain English!

 

 

So in a nutshell, Twitter is a micro blogging site where you can update your friends by sending a message no longer than 140 characters. The awesome thing is that you can instantly update your friends via computer, Twitter Software, mobile phone, or even your home phone!

 

So “What on Earth can you put in 140 characters that could possibly be worth reading? Surely you can’t promote products, build a brand, generate interest in your company, and keep people reading with such small amounts of content?

 

The answers, it turns out, are “a lot” and “yes, you really can!” said New York Bestselling Author, Joel Comm in his latest book, Twitter Power. Joel explained in his book that “…Twitter isn’t just good fun. It’s also proven to be a very important and easy way of finding new users and customers, a powerful networking tool, and an excellent way of picking up useful information.

 

It’s helped me to build deeper relationships with my partners, my clients, and other entrepreneurs.

 

It’s extended the reach of my brand, making the name of my business known to people who might never otherwise have heard of it.

 

It’s brought me advice and suggestions from experts I couldn’t have reached any other way.

 

It brings me a steady stream of additional Web site users and provides a channel for me to alert people who have visited my sites when I’ve uploaded new content.

And it’s brought me some fascinating reading and a bunch of wonderful new friends, too.”

 

Joel, along with all the other top internet marketers are very aware of the power and influence of Twitter. Although there are other micro blogging sites, Twitter is currently the fastest growing in the world!
