This week we're mainly tweeting
We're also running another experiment this week. I'm easily taken in by these things so I've been playing with Twitter in recent weeks. It's been to moderately useful effect though I wouldn't say I'm a convert quite yet. To test it further I've asked a partner in a small accountancy firm to tweet for us this week.
Paul Windsor of Wimbledon-based firm WSM is in Cannes for the annual property industry jamboree, Mipim.
Rather than blog, I thought the briefer, more immediate posts that Twitter demands might be more approriate. See what you think here.
Tweeting still proves somewhat of a mystery to me. It reminds me of the early days of the Internet when businesses knew that they needed to do something with it, but didn't quite know what!
Like Paul Windsor, I've set up a Twitter account and have so far tweeted a handful of times. However, knowing WHAT to say that would actually be of interest to people is still proving a bit of a mystery and I wonder whether Paul is also having trouble knowing what to say??
I'm confident that Twitter will soon become key to business communications (I certainly know that the companies I work for - COA Solutions and Version One - are investigating Twitter as a business tool), and who knows, we may even see 'Twitter Executives' being employed in a few years time. In the meantime, like Paul, I'm going to hang on in there and keep tweating until hopefully, my confusion lifts and it all falls into place!

I share your enthusiasm, scepticism and willingness to give these things a go in the meantime. As for Twitter executives I see Sky News has appointed a Twitter correspondent.

Twitter must be one of the most easiest and cost effective to get people to actually read your businesses news & activities.
The catch is that you must get people to first follow you via effective website & marketing promotion.

Without doubt agree with what you reported. Your explanation was undoubtedly the easiest to understand. I tell you, I constantly get annoyed when folks talk about stuff that they plainly have no idea about. You were able to hit the nail right on the head and also talked out everything without complication. I hope, other folks can take a cue. Will likely be back for more. Keep it up!
