With plenty of good advice out there about how to get the most from using twitter, how exactly does branding fit in?
Well in order to answer that question it is important to make sure you understandwhat I mean by ‘branding’.
What is Twitter? In plain English
This video, from commoncraft, has been around for a while, but it bears repeat showing.
It explains, in plain English, what Twitter is, and why it’s good to use it. It’s not exactly business focused, but if you know someone who is teetering on the edge (should that be Tweetering on the edge?) of signing up, it may help to illustrate why Twitter is such a good thing.

Try explaining it to someone who has never even heard of it: “Well, it’s, erm, well you tell people what you are doing, in 140 characters, and they choose to follow you”
Sounds crazy doesn’t it?
It doesn’t hurt to laugh at twitter occasionally, and with that in mind, here are my 10 favourite videos poking fun at our new addiction

Obviously, the more details you give us, the more likely we are to publish your interview first, but we’re not turning anyone away.
Simply copy and paste the questions below into an email and send to nikki@nikkipilkington.com, then follow Nikki on Twitter to be alerted when your interview is published!
Twitter Questions
How long have you been on Twitter?
UK (super) Brands on Twitter – who’s doing it well?
OK, the title is a little misleading, because this article on NetImperative defines ‘doing it well’ as ‘having the most followers’ which we all know isn’t necessarily the case, don’t we?
However, it’s still interesting to see which UK superbrands have bothered to give Twitter a go, and by measuring their level of followers, we can guess at how much of a ‘go’ they’ve ‘given’.
Some surprises for me – mainly that there are so few – with Twitter being pretty mainstream now and every Internet Marketing Company becoming a Social Media Marketing Company too, I’m surprised that more of the big boys aren’t embracing Twitter, even if it is just outsourced to an agency.
