By now, everyone has heard of social media, and when you think of that phrase, you usually only think of Facebook and MySpace. But Twitter has been hanging around for a couple of years now, and it is one of the favorites among younger people.
Twitter works in much the same way as Facebook, but instead of “friends,” you have “followers.” People follow what you are saying, and they can “retweet” it to their own friends if they find it interesting enough. However, if there is one drawback of Twitter, it is that getting a large group of followers can be time-consuming.
On Facebook, you are constantly offered lists of people who could be your friends and adding them is very easy. On Twitter, the onus is on the other end, and people have to find you. That being said, it is still an easy and quick way to get a short message out to a lot of people. Read More→

For years, people have been pushing the send button before they realized what they were doing. Sometimes they press the wrong button and “copy all” when the communique was confidential and meant for one. Sometimes they press the send button before cooling off and say something that they wish they hadn’t.
The thing to remember is that there are rules that we should follow when using email or communicating online and if we don’t follow them, we risk serious damage to our careers and reputations. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
For Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any public social network… Read More→

As you get more and more sucked into social networking for your business it becomes increasingly important to ensure that you get the best efficiency out of the time that you spend. Maybe two or three years ago I would sit at my computer in a morning, open Outlook and check my mails, now it’s all to easy to do the same with all the social networking opportunities that are out there but it’s all too easy to find ourselves social networking from first thing in the morning until lunch time and then thinking “what have I achieved?”
I bet there’s many of you out there that can empathize with me so I’ve been doing a lot of work to ensure that whatever time I spend social networking is giving me a good return on my investment. In particular I find that Twitter is becoming more important in my daily routine so a lot of what I have to say revolves around some of the free Twitter tools out there but there are in addition some knock on effects to other business social networking sites too such as Facebook and LinkedIn.

I’ve been a passionate business networker for many years and have really benefited from this low cost method of marketing my business. I don’t advertise my business, I don’t push out flyers all I do is network. Over the years I’ve built up many contacts and these trusted business relationships have delivered a continuous flow of referrals that have kept my business running.
There are techniques and principles to being a successful business networker and what I’m finding interesting is that a lot of these same rules apply not only to face to face business networking but also to the social networking site Twitter. I make the distinction between Twitter and other social networking sites such as Facebook or LinkedIn because with Twitter you can strike up a conversation quickly without the other party feeling pressured or threatened. It’s as though people who tweet accept the fact that they are in the business of having conversations. Read More→
