As a twitter user, at first I don't know how twitter works and the fun about it. It only has simple feature like tweet, retweet, follow and mention. At that time, I still haven't realized the fun thing about twitter until one day. I decided to get active in twitter because almost all my friends are using it. After a few weeks using it,I began to realized that twitter is FUN! You can follow anyone you want and then read the news from twitter, and knows any newest gossips from twitter (LOL).
Nowadays, many business people are using twitter to market their products and know the customers. Many brands are becaming well known via twitter because of huge markets and lot of twitter users. I follow one of the brands called Empire magazine to know about the latest issue of film. Empire magazine has created a nice two way communication with their followers. There are other issues that come up with twitter. It can be a media for measure the popularity of an artist. Therefore, it can be used by any company to recruit the appropriate artist for their persona. For example, most sport companies are using the service of Cristiano Ronaldo because he is the most popular football player in the world according to Twitter.
I know someone famous in my country because of twitter. It has 618,565 followers and follow none!! Can everyone wonder how can it be? If everyone curious about the person then I can give you the link @poconggg. It stated that he is an Indonesian ghost and became active in twitter. He became famous since then. Maybe in the future I would also want to make twitter for my media for channeling my business. LOL. This is the prove that twitter is mightier than Facebook. I know if I made this statement, someone will not agree with me. But as I personally use it, I think Twitter has more excitement than Facebook. Will everyone agree?
Have to say disagree. But like your blog ;)
ReplyDeleteNo doubt that some celebrities have found Twitter to be a great way to "broadcast" to their fans. But is this the best use of Twitter for a brand? How can an organisation use it to engage in dialogue with this stakeholders, as opposed to the "monologue" that most celebrities think it's all about?
ReplyDeletehave to disagree too...personally i don't really like twitter.
ReplyDeletebut i think there is a potential there.
@ hubba: thanks for your opinion :)
ReplyDelete@ wags: yeah some celebrities don't reply to their fans but i know some celebrities are replying to them. This function only happens with twitter
@ Never: potential for what?
I personally think that twitter becomes more and more important in the social network area as news travel really fast there.
ReplyDeleteI started using Twitter because I want to follow some celebrities that I like. And personally, speaking from a brand's perspective, I dont think Twitter is better than Facebook. This is not to say Facebook is better as well. You have to see the potential to engage customers from various channels. FYI, I'm totally no active Twitter user, and neither are most of my friends. So, it is the question of how to leverage from the benefits from each channel, not the question of which channel is mighter, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say twitter over FB, but then I also wouldn't say FB over twitter. It depends on your market and it also depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to spread news about something new, and just get it out there, twitter may be a better option, but even better if you combine it with some FB content. However, if you want to be informative and converse, definitely FB.
