50 Ideas on Using Twitter for Business

Being that most of us in class have just created a Twitter account it is nice to learn everything we can about it. Chris Brogan gives a great list of 50 ideas on using Twitter for business. He broke the list into five parts:
  • First Steps
  • Ideas About What to Tweet
  • Some Sanity for You
  • The Negatives People will Throw at You
  • Some Positives to Throw Back
I thought that it was important that we remember to keep our Tweets and Twitter page to a human level.

Under the, ideas about what to tweet, list Chris suggested to share the human side of your company. If you’re bothering to tweet, it means you believe social media has value for human connections. Point us to pictures and other human things.

We need to remember that Twitter won't come easy at first but there are many different sites that can give us great advice just like this one.

    Great post Kaitlyn! I really liked that you highlighted the importances of keeping your tweets at a human level. I think it's so critical for businesses to do this because it's valued by their readers and would be seen more as a conversation.

    Keeping it human reminds us that we are dealing with real people even if the screen and keyboard are only plastic.

    I like how you expressed that. The screen and keyboard are not what it's about. As Kaitlyn says, it's about people.
