5 Reasons Why Your Company Should Twitter
There are at least a dozen reasons why your company should twitter. I’m going to focus on five of those here, and hopefully open the doors to further discussion in the near future.
Reason #1: Immediacy
Think of the benefits of immediate access to your target audience and customers. Announce product recalls and avoid lawsuits. Answer customer questions on the spot. Engage with non-followers who mention your product, company, or competitors. Reward followers with incentives. Announce sales and links to quarterly earnings. Immediacy gives you to reach your audience now.
Examples:
- Last minute push to complete a fundraiser
- Traffic updates
- Leaking info about the upcoming release of a new product
- Posting links to your latest article or press release
- Answering customer questions so quick, they feel valued as a customer.
Reason #2: Influence
Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people are asking themselves and others for recommendations on products and services. Every second of the day, someone is using Twitter to ask for recommendations. How much easier can it get to build your customer base? Be there to answer their questions and make a winning first impression.
Example Questions Being Twittered Right Now:
- “What’s the best joint pain reliever medicine?”
- ” What’s the best place to grab a drink around pike place market?”
- “What’s the best book you’ve most recently read?”
- “What’s the best airline website you’ve ever used?”
- “What’s the best mobile broadband in Ingerland?”
- ” What’s the best Twitter app for the iPhone right now?”
- “What’s the best ad service for a blog do you reckon? Or is adsense still great?”
- “What’s the software product that can best be described as “Powerpoint on Steriods”? Not web based software”
As you can see, anything goes. People just want information. They want recommendations. Someone who has used the product or service can offer their experience. Think about that. There are some creative solutions and approaches there.
Reason #3: Reputation
In the 21st Century, you don’t have days to respond to a negative story about your company. You may not even have hours. Twitter provides an immediacy of information unprecedented in the history of the world.
Example: While in Dallas a few weeks back, I heard about the earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area thirty minutes before most people right next door in Los Angeles. Geographic proximity as an influencing factor is now irrelevant to the equation of immediacy. As long as someone twitters it somewhere in the world, you can catch the latest news within seconds.
The downside to this immediacy is the lighting fast spread of negative news. Rumors of bankruptcy, scandal, or defective products hit the wire and thousands of people are sharing the news with their friends before you’ve ever heard a word. If it’s newsworthy, it’s going to be twittered. If you’re not monitoring Twitter and presenting your company’s face and position to the world there, your company is vulnerable to viral attack.
Reason #4: Exposure
While there are no guarantees that someone you follow on Twitter will reciprocate and follow you back, following a person or organization is like a notification of existence. It says, “Here I am! Check me out and see if I’m worth following back.” Each user is typically notified via email of each new follower, thus giving them an opportunity to review new followers and possibly reciprocate the follow.
By searching Twitter for users within a specific geographic area or by the topics of their conversations, any organization can cherry-pick their friends based on common goals or interests. This is the easiest method of increasing exposure I’ve ever heard of.
Reason #5: Traffic
Your company has a website. And you want people to visit it, if not purchase something or contact you through it. With Twitter, you can increase traffic to your site simply by engaging others.
Methods for Increasing Traffic:
- Answer other people’s questions
- Poll for opinions
- Post links to your newest articles
- Announce sales
- Recommend other twitter users to your audience, thereby engendering appreciation

How do you put a twitter widget on your myspace page?
I cant seem to figure it out…
copy the widget code from here

How do you use the twitter API?
Can use just use curl?
You used to be able to and actually you still can use curl, but that’s the basic API. They just switched to the oAuth system, which is a lot more secure, but also a little more complicated.
Here’s a good article that explains how to use it: http://www.blackmediaproperties.com/programming/programming-with-twitters-oauth-api/
Hope I helped.
Twitter question: How do I determine the real celebrity to follow and not one of hte many imposters?
When I search out someone that is famous that I am interested in following, there are usually multiple accounts trying to be that person. Is there a way on twitter to figure out who the real person is?
Many of the celebrities or popular public figures on Twitter have had their account "verified."
Go to their profile. Look on the righthand side, right above their name, location, etc. If you see a blue badge with a check in it and the words "verified account" next to it, you know they’re the real deal.
Hope this helps! 
Thoughts on Jeff Hardy Dissing WWE and Maryse being Stalked?
What are thoughts?
- Jeff Hardy wrote the following on twitter yesterday about last week’s RAW: "Raw last week wasRotten…damn I wasAmazed…because I’m usuallyImpressed? Did I mention Raw was thaShits lastWeek!"
- WWE Diva Maryse wrote the following on Twitter last night: "Had security escort me back to my place, got attack by a stalker in middle of street in middle of day in WeHo, what the heck, CRAZY! I’m still out of breath, I got sooooo scare! I couldn’t talk! I’m alright!"
BQ: Whats match are you looking forward to at Extreme Rules.
Heres the link: http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/wwe/7463.html
Jeff Hardy is a freaking traitor. After all WWEs done to push him this is how he talks back. He got all the pushes and yet Matt hadn’t its just a disgrace.
I hope Maryse is ok, but It isn’t surprising that she was being stalked. I mean she’s freaking hot.
BQ: Jericho vs Edge Match, the build up seems interesting it looks unpredictable too.
