Twitter World

Like e-mail, social networks are becoming common knowledge. But if you are in the group that is too confused to even ask a question, you have come to the right place as there will be a series on Twitter World. It’s going to be short posts that take you through every step from signing up for a twitter account to taming the beast social networks can become.

With no further ado, let’s talk twitter. Simply put, Twitter is the equivalent of passing notes to one another; short notes, but with access to the world. Twitter can be used for socializing, following your favorite celebrity around, and other things. But my focus will demonstrate how Twitter can be used to get your work done. If you have unlimited funds, resources and knowledge; you may not want to use social networks. However, if you are not in that category, you can’t afford not to know about pro networking and how to use it effectively.

I think that just about covers everything. Wait! Where’s the information? Well, simply put I told you my posts will be short. But, you have an assignment for the next post of creating a twitter account and here it is:

Gather the following and there will be questions about what you need, but I will cover the why I recommend the following and the pros and cons to them:

• Pick a user name; ideally your real name
• Take digital picture of yourself; head shot only please
• Think about, what people do you want to connect with(using twitter for fun) or who you need to connect with(using twitter for work) and then write a short description about you

With that, in the next post I will go step by step on creating you first twitter account.

Talk to you soon.
