I think it is a good question ... Tweeter is a puissant social media but it is not the same than Facebook.

I have created an account on Twitter since I became to work but I have no really followers and I am not really folowing !

I would like to use it better but I am not confident at this moment with it.

But what about you, how do you use it ? for personnal or for business use ?

thanks in advance for your answers


Regards

Pauline

I'll confess to having to google "puissant" obviously didn't pay attention at school

Twitter is real time search,which is in its infancy, and I think it will mature over the next 5 years.

Personally, I only tweet occasionally, normally a forum thread if I think its worth publicising. Other than that, we have an automated feed which tweets selected threads, but only once or twice a day normally.

The trick seems to be finding like minded people, and follow them, in the hope that they follow you back. Or you do it properly and tweet interesting stuff which people like, and then decide to follow you.

But its juggling time between all these different marketing tools and techniques. Experiment and see what works well for you. With your site, you should have no shortage of content to tweet about.

I wish all of them were nice, but it allows us to see some lovely houses.

Ditto, so just to save people looking it up..

puissant
- powerful; mighty; potent.

I think it is better used to engage with people about things that interest you. Don't expect to tweet business related stuff and to get instant results. You may be fortunate to get success that way but I'd say in most cases it's a social tool, that can help develop confidence in your services/products over time.
