To Tweet or Not To Tweet!

Twitter is the next new thing in today’s technology. It can be used for several different reasons. Twitter is a free social networking service that allows its users to send and read messages known as tweets. This service is ranked as one of the 50 most popular websites worldwide by a web traffic analysis.
The Twitter website offers its users various applications that can be used in online or with mobile devices. With Google’s Knol project, I thought that Twitter’s group application would go great together. After an author of a Knol has finished, he or she could tweet a group and decide to get feedback from his/ her peers to see what they thought about the Knol. With Wikipedia, a group tweet would also be beneficial; the group could actually contribute to the same article but be in different places at different times. There is another application that Twitter offers that I thought would be great as well. It is called TwitSharks.com. This application actually searches the Twitter stream for you 24/7 for the keywords that you have put into your profile that matches your business interest and when something pops up in the search, then the tweet is "pushed" to you cell phone or emailed directly to you. This will allow you never to miss a business opportunity via Twitter again.

These are great applications for businesses that are expanding and are just starting out and want to put their products out into the market. Businesses can even ask for their clients to refer others to them by asking to have others follow them on Twitter. These are just a few of the examples of the many applications that Twitter offers for its clients to use and recommend to others. So, get to tweeting.
