Here’s tweets info we recently sent to a client about their own twitterstream:
Once signed-in, take a look at people that follow us and the people that we’re following or our ‘friends’. Here, you’ll see a smattering of techies and bloggers that we follow. Again, clicking on someone’s alias or name brings up their twitter stream or more info. about them. Typically, the way Twitter works is that someone will ‘follow’ you when they receive notice that you are ‘following’ them. To follow someone, click on the ‘follow’ button found under their photo on their Twitter page.
It might be interesting to take a look at others in the tech or IT community that are using Twitter. Google offers a makeshift Twitter search engine. I searched ‘Rockville MD IT‘ from Google and the results were pretty interesting.
Once you get the hang of Twitter, consider posting to our account. To do this, type a message (of 140 characters or less) in the box at the top of the page that reads “What are you doing?” When you hit the ‘update’ button, our followers will see the message. Twitter is an interesting tool that allows you to customize a list of only those conversations and people that you want to follow. The marketing twist is of course, those followers that pass your message along to those that are following them!
