Twitter Culture

I am a member of Twitter and quite frankly, I visit daily. Once I log onto my computer each day, I open two tabs immediately. One is to check my e-Mails and the other is to log onto Twitter. I keep the Twitter tab open for the entire day. This way, like the other Tweeps (other members of Twitter) I can find out what is going on with other people in the webunity; I can learn about new things and I can post blurbs all day as I see fit. This means that I can just throw out there what is on my mind throughout the day. This is very therapeutic.

I believe this micro-blogging is therapeutic for every one using the site. Sometimes people just want everyone to know they are running to the store or that they were on the phone with a specific person in the field without ever getting into detail. Most often though, the posts are quite detailed. The challenge is to say in one post what u need to say by using only 140 characters. Of course there will have to be many posts made in order to carry on a conversation.

I visit with marketers and marketing Gurus. They are quite the interesting bunch. They are colorful...sometimes witty and a warm loving bunch. Except for one character, I wouldn't trade them in for another bunch of Tweeps. I was introduced to this bunch by an old friend @danlopez2012

I have learned a bit about eMarketing from them and that is quite helpful for my business. I also took a few courses in eBusiness, eLaw and eMarketing when I was earning my undergraduate's degree. I find that the education and Tweep information as well as the chance to apply all of this knowledge is working rather well. I will be able to measure the results more after I promote my business this week.

To all of you who follow me on Twitter and to those Tweeps I follow, life has changed since I began to tune into you on a daily basis. I want to thank you, whether we have a relationship or not...I am certainly learning from you. Further, for those of you who are not marketers, such as @manifestmmind, I would like to thank you for your beneficial daily affirmations. I am comforted and blessed to be able to read your posts. I don't talk with most of the people, only a few but I consider myself lucky for that.

I would like to add that micro-blogging is not only therapeutic, but Twitter helps us all "get the word." Twitter is a great advertising space! If you are not a member, I recommend that you join as soon as possible. http://www.twitter.com/ How do people learn about your business? The object of the game is to follow people and they may choose to follow you. If not, others will follow you. They will see the biography that you post as well as your website that you share with the public. In this way, Twitter is a fabulous and free advertising tool as it helps drive traffic to your site.

Another great thing about Twitter is that you can become part of a joint venture through the relationships you make fellow Tweeps. The common way to advertise on Twitter is to invite people to your website and have them sign up to receive a newsletter or other type of subscription. As your following grows, more and more people will be able to sign up for a newsletter/subscription and you can grow a list. This is a fantastic way to familiarize people with your business. This is free advertisement, what do you have to lose? You certainly have a lot to gain. You can gain friendship and grow your business.
