Let's Talk Tweet

Twitter is basically a micro-blogging website. You can send updates of what’s going on in your life or company. Or if you’re looking for info, find someone who’s talking about stuff you’re interested in (or a friend) and follow them.

In turn they usually follow you (hence how you go about targeting people to follow you). It’s a social network. You can send updates (i.e. tweets) with a 140 character max. Think of it as a mini-press release in real time.

Everyone says it, but really it is true- you just won’t get it until you start doing it. I follow pet products (I’m a dog lover) and deal alerts (also love a bargain). So far my tweets aren’t limited to one topic- I’m throwing in work/home/whatevs.
