Why does facebook now get more visitors than Google and twitter are used by Barak Obama, Bill Gates, the Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg and many other influential people? The answer is simple. You connect with family, existing friends former colleagues and get new friends. Twitter is a two way messaging platform used to send and receive short messages to your followers and broadcast your message to the world. The American Red Cross uses Twitter to broadcast disaster alerts etc. to the world, and disasters are often discovered first on Twitter. While writing this short article and looking at the top twets a story about the Opera web browser stating Opera 10.52 for Mac and Windows released today. That is an important message to me since I have subjectively rated the Opera web browser as the most secure for online shoppers. Cnn uses FaceBook, Twitter and YouTube in their daily news reporting. Social media creates communities. It can be compared to a newspaper that fires all its employees, slams the doors open for the public to join and create content.
And companies like Opera use it. As an example
So what does Twitter do for businesses?
Twitter is a communication platform that helps businesses stay connected to their customers. As a business, you can use it to quickly share information with people interested in your company, gather real-time market intelligence and feedback, and build relationships with customers, partners and other people who care about your company. As an individual user, you can use Twitter to tell a company (or anyone else) that you've had a great—or disappointing—experience with their business, offer product ideas, and learn about great offers.
