It appears many of the top online marketing people do. And its not only the marketing guru’s that twitter. From news stories it seem that UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown was in the habit of ‘twittering’ whilst on his recent trip to the US – perhaps not Gordon Brown personally, but certainly members of his entourage.
Twitter has not appealed to me to date, perhaps because I haven’t had the time to sit down and really look at it. From what I heard, it seems to be growing rapidly in popularity with many influential people getting on board.
Social marketing is making its presence felt with more and more marketers getting on. They are learning to market their products – SMS style.
If you are out of the loop, Twitter enable users to stay in touch using short SMS style messages. The trend is growing with many businesses incorporating Twitter into their communications toolbox. I heard a recent radio interview where one of the Twitter proponents was discussing the writing of dedicated intranet twitter style software.
Since the rest of the world is getting on the Twitter roller coaster, perhaps its time I had a closer look. Tell me – do you Twitter? If so, any advice!
