The Power of Twitter

People in all lines of businesses are twittering away and networking in a way that fits with busy lifestyles.

Twitter is a way in which users can create short status updates or ‘twitters’, so rather than writing blog updates on their life and what they’re doing they have a micro-blog through twitter and then update it (with a maximum of 140 characters) whilst they’re waiting for the kettle to boil, whilst on hold or when they have something they want to say.

Each user then communicates with other users to see their ‘twitters’ and respond to what they have to say.

A good friend of mine who works in Search Engine Optimisation uses this to ask questions of other optimisers: networking and sharing ideas without needing to leave the office.

PR Blogger have just released a list of PR Twitters in the UK who are worth following, of which the MD of Blue Cherry, Mark Crosby, is on the list.
