Twitter is all A Buzz: Twittering & Business, Two articles to consider

Twitter is certainly all a buzz in the media and we have lots of clients asking if it will benefit their business, their websites and online marketing efforts.  It’s not easy to find an easy definition of Twitter, much less evaluating its usefulness for your business.  Please always feel free to ask our resident Social Media guru, Carlos Hernandez.

These two articles give a great intro to why it’s worth spending time on Twitter for professional reasons and how you can get started:

The key advice for new people comes from Jeremiah Owyang, a Forrester analyst and a great person to follow on Twitter:

“The best way to make the most use of it is not just answer what are you doing now,” says Owyang. “Instead, answer: ‘What’s important to me?’ That changes the conversation and makes value. It takes away some of the minutia and shows you want to talk about something that’s more useful and interesting.”
