As some of you may know I am on the web everyday all day, either working on client projects, advising entrepreneurs or writing my own content. I find it very rewarding to be of value helping folks out by answering questions and pointing them in the right direction.
I believe the best way to learn about something is to experience it. But Sometimes people just want your opinion. Sometimes its your opinion that inspires them to pursue the experience.
The Question I am asked on a regular basis “What is Twitter?”
Many people ask me about twitter, “What’s the purpose, How do I use it, Is it for me, Who is it for?”
Then their next question is, “Will you teach me how to Twitter?”
Most of my friends and colleagues want to use twitter to build a network of professionals and expand their customer base. They want to know the “Strategy”. I tell them, ” Ya know, most of the time there is no “Strategy“, just be your self “.
My Best Answer to What is Twitter:
Twitter is one of the most powerful and fun communication tools on the earth today. You can share everything from what you are eating for breakfast to finding simple answers to complicated questions from people that WANT to help with no strings attached. Twitter is about joining like minds, discovering new friends and collaborating with people just like you.
With 8 million strong and growing nearly exponentially every month, twitter is a safe environment for personal expression. Participate, listen and learn what ever you want right here right now. Millions of people’s “tweets” or status updates are delivered to your desktop in real time. Its the heartbeat of thoughts and activities occurring in the present moment. If there is important prime time news happening, you will know before any other major news source.
Twitter is appropriate for any person, any age, any where. Its about connecting with others, joining a conversation and building a network of like minds who share your interests.
Imagine what it would mean to you if 1 million other people really wanted to know “What you are doing” thinking or saying, right now! The possibilities are endless.
Twitter is a place where everyone can be heard and everyone can listen.
So tell me, What is twitter for you? Maybe you are just trying to figure it out or have some definitive insights you would like to share, either way, I’d like to know what you think. Also, if you are so inclined, follow me and I will follow you.
