Twitter is a fast emerging social networking website that readily competes with other popular sites of the same kind. Twitter is popular with its text messaging service, which allows a member to send SMS messages to its “followers” (other people who have subscribed to their account). The word “twitter” literally means “to talk in chattering manner”. Such concept was evident with Twitter’s micro-blogging services which allow members to post their multi-media files into a smaller file size or in aggregate and smaller file sizes. If you have subscribed or followed another person’s updates, usually a friend or a family member, you’ll be receiving text messages indicating the updates.
You’ll receive even more when you have subscribed or followed more people. Such way of communicating and keeping in touch with other people is a very effective way of getting your message across. Notable users include support-relief organizations such as the Red Cross uses Twitters to obtain data about a disaster and its location. Even the L.A. Fire Department used the Twitter to gather information about the 2007 California Wildfires. With such a great use for emergency response teams, the Twitter stands a level above other social networking sites. However, the Twitter SMS messaging feature can be quite costly on your mobile phone bill if you do not have unlimited text plans. But it’s a very good way of following other people’s whereabouts and current activities. Parents have finally found a good social networking site for following their children’s activities and locations.
With such a great leap in communication through Twitter’s micro-blogging activity, targeting wider demographics having the same interest for a specific product and services has been also made easy. A certain product can reach the global audience in a cheaper yet most effective way. Furthermore, a potential customer can be reached out through Twitter’s micro-blogging features. Interactivity with constant communication is the most effective way of making a sale of a product or service. Through Twitter, internet marketing activities have also broadened. A member can include advertisements of a certain product and sends it through text messages. Chances of having a customer have increased. A member won’t have to pay any single cent for posting an advertisement within his or her profile page. Lesser advertising with wider market can be the most beautiful advantage one can get through Twitter.com.
On the other hand, Twitters.com has also its down sides, too. If you are a businessman, your profile will be mostly about you, not your clients or customers. You’re going to tell them where you are, what you do and what you like; not about with what they like. Twitters.com projects the idea of self-centeredness that we neglect that we have the social responsibility towards our potential clients.
Another important thing is that, there exist many profiles having illicit and pornographic materials. Most often, there will be chances that you will be contacting terrorists, drug lords and any other shady personalities hiding under an innocent-looking profile. Just be aware of these scrupulous persons in order to protect your identity as well as your family.
Depending on how you use Twitter, there will always be its pros and cons.
