#Do you Twitter?
If you’re paying any attention at all to social media, you know about Twitter. It’s all the rage in certain circles.
In case you’re not yet in the know, Twitter lets you give text message-length updates via the Web or SMS to people you want to communicate with. Simple as that.
Why use Twitter? Some people are still figuring that out. Is it just a waste of time? Granted it can be distracting. Do we really need to know what friends and coworkers are doing every minute of the day? In marketing and PR in particular, people are beginning to use it to get tips on stories from reporters, get quick feedback on ideas, and post links to a site or story they want to promote.
Sound intriguing? Spend a few minutes watching this “Twitter 101" explanation. Decide for yourself.
