Twitter is a ‘micro-blogging’ tool designed to allow people or businesses to post small chunks of information to a group of subscribers on a regular basis.
A free of charge service, Twitter allows you to keep customers or other interested parties abreast of information from you with options for them to respond online or via their mobile phone.
This tool can be extremely effective for publishing links, promotions and sound bites to your audience. The system can be integrated to display on your website, blog or other sites adding additional levels of updated content to each.
Within a sales team the Twitter system could be used to communicate with field sales operatives, with the tool allowing secure communications from one account to all subscribers, allowing them to respond directly to each others posts.
