Twitter came up in conversation at this morning's meeting of the Indian Valley Chamber of Commerce's Marketing & Membership committees, leading me to realize that I never got around to uploading slides from my recent seminar on Twitter for Business. Let me correct that error now, reiterating that Twitter is a terrific tool for networking and learning.
If you have any questions or would like to talk to me some more about Twitter and its role in growing your business, please connect!
I confess. I might have a Twitter problem. I'm one of those "two-screeners" watching the Phillies game, the Oscars, or the latest episode of The Good Wife, glancing occasionally at my Twitter stream to see who else might be sharing the experience.
I also firmly believe that Twitter works for building business relationships - from networking to customer service. Ann Handley's recent experience with JetBlue proves that Twitter can be a mechanism to provide exceptional customer service. Read all about it here in her post, Twitter Helps Me Get My Lost Book Back, and What You Can Learn from It.
Twitter announced yesterday that users can now tag Twitter users and add up to four photos within a single tweet. A move that could be interpreted as an answer to Facebook's recent acquisition of Instagram, this new Twitter feature allows you to tag up to 10 people in a tweet without sacrificing precious 140 character space. You will also receive a notification each time you are tagged - yet another reason to check your Twitter account, no doubt.
With Twitter's new feature, tagging up to 10 Twitter users & adding up to 4 photos to a single tweet is now possible.
This feature is currently available on the Twitter iOS and Android mobile app. According to Techcrunch.com, Twitter has indicated also eventually bringing this to the web and allowing the feature to be used in third party Twitter apps, good news to those of us who use the many available options such as Tweetdeck, TweetCaster, Hootsuite, etc.
What do you think of this new feature? If you're not yet on Twitter, will it lead you to try it? If you're already on Twitter, will it drive you to use the native app or will you wait for it to come to the third party apps?
