Social Media: Not just marketing. Not just technology.

Social media is more than just another marketing channel. It offers the small and big business alike, new routes to engage and build relationships with their customers and the wider community.

Twitter for Beginners Part One: Getting Started

This is the first post in a series on how to get the most out of a Twitter as a new user. It is intended to be a very basic introduction on joining the site, its uses and getting started.

We have released this post to help new users get to grips with the site, which we believe has a number of uses to individuals and businesses alike.

We have published this in the run up to the Cornwall Twestival – a global event organised through Twitter to raise money for Charity:Water. The event promises to be an insightful and enjoyable get together of the diverse users (and potential users) of Twitter. For more information or to book a ticket please click here.
