Subject: Social Media Networking through Twitter
This past Thursday on November 3, I attended a workshop on how one can utilize twitter as a valuable business online network. Twitter’s has a mass communication capability that makes it easy to connect with people. There were many key points this workshop discussed. The main ones included things like making sure you are clear in showing others what you want to talk about. Also important that the content on ones twitter profile page is appropriate and appealing, because that is mostly how one gains followers. Retweeting others is also a big aspect, so that others don’t get bored of those who only promote themselves. Mix it up and make it interesting! Additionally #hash-tagging others is yet another way to get connected on twitter. Linking to other social conversation shows other that you are paying attention to their pages as well. Lastly twitter offers a further network feature that creates wider opportunities and it is called ‘twitter discussions’ which is like a group chat at certain times of the day. This workshop gave me a greater knowledge and better understanding of how useful twitter can actually be.
