I talk to people about Twitter a lot. A LOT. And that;s because I’ve seen how well it works; for gaining business, for branding purposes, for customer support and for credibility. I have had multiple thousands of pounds worth of business because fo Twitter, and I want everyone else to have the same!

But invariably some of the people I speak to say “Yeah but it’s just for one man bands”, “I sell ot corporates and none of my potential business is on there”, “I’m a Managing Director, why would I use Twitter, that’s for less important people” and so on.

A guest blog from Su Butcher

Everyone is talking about Twitter The Daily Mail, Jonathan Ross, Chris Moyles and Stephen Fry.… ok, ok, heard it before?

Hang on a minute, there must be a reason. Twitter is attracting people who want to use it for social reasons and that is why it is growing, but there is more to Twitter than headlines and celebrities. It’s a tool for communication, and any tool for communication has business uses.

Just one update on Twitter can either make or break you, and do so very publicly, too. A word to the wise: be wise with your words on Twitter!

More and more people, personalities and business entities are seeing the potential of Twitter as a new communications medium.

Even politicians are getting in on the act now. Over in the US, Twitter is now entering the political vocabulary, along with “credit crunch”. While over here in Britain, Tweetminster is a website that lists the growing number of members of parliament using Twitter to communicate with their constituents.

This is a guest blog by Nick Parkin of Pimlico Flats

I always like to try out new things and so a few months ago I opened a Twitter Account. Twitter is well known as the new phenomenon in the Social Networking world having grown 782% last year, however in spite of it’s remarkable growth and mainstream status (being mentioned in the broadsheets and tabloids, and earning celebrity endorsement such as Stephen Fry & Jonathan Ross), it hasn’t yet been adopted in general business.

Early thoughts from a Twitter ‘newbie’

A guest post from Tim Matcham of Tim Matcham Garden Design:

Early Thoughts on Twitter

I have recently been introduced to this exciting online networking application. My initial thoughts were that it was of little importance as a business tool. Many of the postings seemed to be about walking the dog or what people were having for tea – not too inspiring! The reason for this is that Twitter is foremost a social networking forum rather than a business network.

Copywriting and Twitter

Date: 2nd February 2009

Twitter appears to be a marmite application – you know, you either love it or you hate (probably because you can’t see the point of it all).

Personally, I love it – it’s great on a personal and business level.

As a freelance copywriter, it allows me to broadcast my news, views and opinions to a huge audience so I can reach the parts that other copywriters can’t.

Twitter – a two pronged tool
