Who is on Twitter & Why You Should be
The Me Mentality | Who is on Twiter
People often ask me who is on Twitter that makes it so important that they should be. First the answer is, a lot more people than you think. The President has a Twitter account, so do celebrities, corporations like Starbucks & house wives. Its like the best thing to hit networking since the Elk’s club. Without the creepy antler hats.
Even if you barely have any idea what a Tweet is its still important that you learn. This new media age is upon us and people will either convert or get left behind. I know it sounds harsh but look at the telephone? Or the internet or any other modern technology. Many people dug in their heals for a long while, but finally they conceded. So why put up the fight, instead whether your 17 or 77 take some time out to learn a little bit about social media, especially Twitter and why its a great resource for both business and personal relationships.
Firstly, consider this, what is the world based on? Relationships is the framework of our civilization. Without them we wouldn’t have governments, families or a way to reproduce, Twitter, like social media giants before them, bring the networking aspect of relationships into our homes & lives in a very simple way. We can reach out to those all over the world that share similar interests and develop lines of communication with people we’d never meet in person.
Something important thing about who is on Twitter and why it should be important to you is to think beyond yourself. Just don’t go on Twitter & broadcast your message. A great TwiTip on The Art of Influence talks about this very thing. People too often go on Twitter just to spread their message, their thoughts without realizing that it is a back and forth. You must give & get in the world of Tweeting. Don’t expect anyone to listen to you if you don’t listen back. Respond to DMs you get and be sure to find conversations to add to throughout your Twittering.
Even though in the future Twitter may be over taken by another social media presence its still good to get into the flow of the new media age, because it isn’t really going anywhere. We are sharing smaller bits of information (140 character Tweets) with many, many more people. So each word we share must have meaning. So tweet with your heart & use Twitter to both give and receive. Its good Twitter karma
