Developments on Twitter

Since I last blogged about Twitter things have developed quite quickly. Who would have thought that I would join forces with my Web Site designers to go on and do Seminars on using Twitter for business? I will talk about the benefits of this at a later date.
I find that having had success through this mode of Social Media I can confidently encourage others to use it as well. By success, I mean that businesses have signed up to www.theruralmeetingplace.com as members, others have come along to meetings and also I have been able to promote the products that I have available to a larger audience. Success in the means of a much increased profile and all for a short time each day.
Joining conversations on Twitter and learning about the people that you follow and who are following you is just a form of online networking. Some of what you say is interesting to some of your followers just as in the same way you are not always interested in what all the people you are following say all the time.
I find it very useful to tailor my Tweeting to the time of day I am online. Lets face it , at 11 o'clock on a saturday night are you going to take any notice of details of a networking meeting on wednesday lunch time? No, neither would I be, but, you might have a conversation about a TV program that was on or a book that I am reading.
Twitter is a good form of networking and is an arena where it pays to let your true personality shine through after all we all do business with people we like and whom we have interests in common.
Follow me on Twitter if you wish @carolermp say hello and mention that you saw the Blog.
