Marketing Breakthroughs is Tweeting on Twitter!

March 3, 2009

Marketing Breakthroughs is joining the world's fastest growing social network: Twitter

Twitter is a unique microblogging social network that lets users post short updates whenever they wish. The only caveat is that the updates must be plain text or links, and they have to be 140 characters or less. Users can update and follow their friends, relatives, coworkers, and anyone else in the world. Updates are completely instantaneous, and it's becoming the most popular way for friends to stay connected, right up to the minute. People regularly update from their cell phones, so that there's always something new happening in your Twitter feed..

Twitter updates are very similar to Facebook's status updates, but its popularity lies in its simplicity. There are not a no other related applications to add to your Twitter account. Users don't post photos (though they do post links to photos) or post on "walls." The 140 character limit encourages random thoughts, quick questions, and stream of consciousness posting.

Many celebrities have taken to the microblogging platform. Shaquille O'Neal posts several times a day, and Barack Obama has over 250,000 Twitter followers.

Here at MB, we'll be regularly tweeting short updates, marketing tips, news, links, and anything else the team comes up with, all in 140 characters or less.

We encourage you to follow MB on Twitter, for instant updates from our dynamic team. We hope to see you there!
