Twitter was founded in March 2006 by Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey, and Biz Stone. In 2006 Williams and Biz Stone co-founded Obvious Corp along with other former Odeo employees. Twitter was created as a separate company in April 2007 by Obvious Corp. Jack Dorsey was chief executive officer of Twitter until October 2008 when Williams became CEO and Dorsey shifted to the position of chairman of the board.

Since its creation in 2006, Twitter has become very popular worldwide. Twitter is the fastest growing free micro-blogging software that allows you to keep in touch with people through quick, frequent answers to one question: What are you doing? That one little question has launched a media revolution.

“Tweet” is the term for the 140 maximum character messages posted on Twitter. For tweeting to be effective, it must be done systematically, with posts being made daily. For the average business owner or marketing executive, this can be very impractical because of the time required. Fortunately, technology provides ways to get things done quicker.

One such technology is a tool called BigTweet. BigTweet is a plugin for your Web browser that lets you post a tweet to Twitter by just clicking the BigTweet button, located on your browser’s link menu. Highlighting a passage on a web page and clicking the button creates a tweet from the text you highlighted, in addition to the title of the page and a short URL. If you do not highlight any words on the page, then the text of the tweet will just contain the page title and short URL.

Another more powerful technique is to use Tweet Later. Tweet Later is a Twitter management application that lets you accomplish a few critical Twitter tasks automatically. For one, it lets you pre-program “spinnable” tweets in advance. By spinnable, I mean that the tweets can contain alternate words or passages that that software chooses from at random. It’s a dynamic technology that allows one tweet to become the basis for numerous unique tweets. Tweet Later will also automatically follow back anyone who follows you and send a personal message to all new followers.

Business people are just now beginning to realize the power of Twitter as an online promotional tool. It seems strange and awkward at first, and it takes some time to get good at it. So don’t spin your wheels trying to figure it out. Use tools like BigTweet and Tweet Later to get more done in less time.

Joshua Hays asked:




Do you remember the days when it was a daily occurrence to get spammed on MySpace? I was frequented by at least two sex bots, four bands and an empty profile almost every day. These are issues that made Facebook what it is today. Facebook has stronger filtering systems and a more difficult registering process that help to remove computer programs that create random profiles for God knows what purposes. As both of these sites matured, a new service arrived that is most commonly known as Twitter.

Twitter emerged from an age where Facebook was eating the MySpace footprint but it still seemed as if the percentage of people who logged on and stayed on continued to drop. What do people visit these pages for anyways? A recent study indicated that a whopping 81% of people that have a profile on MySpace or Facebook primarily log on to check for new messages, update their status and browse recent bulletins (or wall posts if you are a Facebook user). Twitter targeted the most common reasons for visiting these sites – updating your status. It seems, though, that spam bots are at it again and targeting people by simply ‘following’ them. So, what sort of harm could this do to you? After all, it only adds to the number of followers you have, right?

As social networking grows to be one of the first source employers are turning to for information on potential hires, business to consumer connection and personal branding, it is incredibly important to maintain your ‘Big Three’ on a daily basis. When I say maintain, I don’t mean to just check for new messages or tweets, I mean to actually maintain your profile. Now more then ever, it is imperative to ensure you are not what I like to call a ‘follower whore’. Younger generations love to build their number of followers and do whatever it takes to have more ‘friends’ than the next person, regardless if it is a real person with valuable input or not.

I suggest that with every new follower; take the time to do the following:

1 – Review their profile.

2 – Read recent tweets and consider there value to you.

3 – Look for how often they tweet.

4 – Check the number of followers vs. following.

5 – Decide to follow them or not.

6 – If necessary, delete.

Let’s break that down. If you cannot take the time to review someone’s profile who took the time to follow you, you are not considering what others could bring to the table that may improve whatever it is that you are doing. Take a look at their recent tweets and if they post things that are interesting, compelling or even funny – follow them! By looking at their tweets you can also tell if they are spamming advertisements, are a real human or not and even see how often they tweet. You do NOT want to follow someone who tweets every two minutes! This will only make it more difficult to filter your tweets whenever it is you login and if you have every tweet texted to your mobile device, I sure hope you have unlimited texting! After that, quickly take a peak at how many followers they have versus how many people they are following. If they are following 10,000,000 people and have only 9 followers…. there’s a problem – they obviously don’t have anything valuable to offer anyone.

At this point, you should be able to properly determine if you should or shouldn’t follow them.

“So, why would I delete someone?”

If someone (or something) is following you and you don’t see a relationship there or you aren’t Ashton Kutcher, delete them. I know that it may seem really neat to have a large number of followers displayed on your Twitter homepage but what isn’t cool is when someone of importance (future employer, business partner, investor or client) decides to browse your followers to see what type of people felt your updates were of value and sees nothing but spam/porn bots. There are three points here. First, don’t accumulate followers who do nothing but follow and second, don’t be the follower that gets deleted. Offer value in your tweets, have fun with them and add personality. If used properly, Twitter can be a great place to meet new people, learn new things and promote you and/or your business. Finally, maintain what I call your online portfolio. Log into these websites daily and update your content, create something fresh for other people to enjoy. After all, networking requires more than just yourself – that’s why it’s called Social Networking.

If all else fails and you love bots, do yourself a favor and mark your profile and tweets as private.

Brian Edmondson asked:




Every Internet Marketer worth his or her salt knows that in order be successful as an online entrepreneur you must have some way to get people to your website. If they don’t come, they won’t buy. And if they don’t buy-well, you’re not much of a marketer; at least you’re not a successful marketer.

So every online maven uses every available trick to bring traffic to their websites. I’d like to tell you about one method of brining in the traffic may have been overlooked by many marketers.

Twitter.

Twitter is a free social networking and mini-blogging application that allows its users to write 140 characters per micro-blog. These updates are sent to all their friends, who are people that are ‘following’ them, as well as being put out on the public timeline where every Twitter on planet earth can see them. Some people use Twitter as their own personal blog, where they talk about everything from their cats and kids, to the savvy internet marketer who places the url’s of their online business offerings in their ‘tweets’ in order to get those website addresses out in front of as many people as possible.

In order for this to work, you must be ‘following’ a great many people and have a great many people ‘following’ you as well. If you’re following someone on Twitter, it means that you see all of their updates (micro-blog posts) each time they post. The more people you have following you-the better it is for your online endeavors.

You can perform searches on Twitter to locate people in a geographical area or by interests. Once you’ve found someone you want to follow, you go to their Twitter page and click on the word ‘follow’ underneath their avatar. Some Twitter folk have their updates protected-meaning that the general public is barred from reading their updates. You can request to follow them and an email will be sent to them with your request.

Using Twitter as a social networking tool is a great way to get to know people who share your interests-whether they be about the music you like or your brand new eBook that went on sale today-and an excellent way to generate interest and traffic. You can send Twitter updates via your cell phone from tech events or just from your bus while you commute. There are all kinds of add-ons to Twitter that you

Social Networking sites like Twitter are best used by creating a following-and following others-in order to foster a relationship with potential clients. Once you build trust by giving them a window in on your world, it’s much easier to make them a customer. People tend to buy things from people they trust-and they will discover as they read your Tweets, that you are a trustworthy soul.

So in order to funnel more traffic to your website, it’s a good idea to use every social networking tool at your disposal and that includes Twitter.

I don’t get the whole Twitter fad. Who cares about the minuscule details of a random person’s life? Why do people care so much on Twitter, yet no one cares about anyone in their own neighborhoods and communities anymore. Everyone just walks around with their noses in their iphones and don’t even bother to look up and say “hi” to people they know.
