If you haven’t heard of  Twitter by now, you need to take a look at a great way to notify your customers, and friends of things going on around the office.

Twitter this… Twitter that.  Just what is Twitter and how do you use it to your advantage?  Lots of people and organizations are turning to Twitter and other micro-blogging sites in order to get the word out about what is going on in their company’s life.

Though twitter can be seen as the “water cooler”  of the internet, it has a few really good things about it that most companies would love to have in their marketing, the most important of all is … SPEED!  Just think, you can get your latest special or promotion out in 5 seconds flat to everyone that follows you on Twitter!

Getting people to follow you on Twitter is another matter.  Are you talking to people about what is important to you or JUST giving them marketing articles?  People are using Twitter to get to know the people online before anything else.  Let them get to know you or your company online so they can get to know you offline as a client.
