Twitter is an online news and social networking site.<\/p>\n
It is mainly used for micro-blogging, i.e. sharing one’s thoughts using a “tweet”.<\/p>\n
A “tweet” can contain text, pictures, video and even links.<\/p>\n
Once a tweet is posted, it will be read by your “followers”.<\/p>\n
People can find you online using your Twitter handle. This consists of an “@” symbol followed by some text. For example @technesiumblog<\/a>\u00a0(click it).<\/p>\n Followers are similar to Facebook friends – they see what you post.<\/p>\n Most companies today are on Twitter. Companies love Twitter because it’s one of the easiest ways to promote themselves and their goods\/services.<\/p>\n Twitter is the fastest way to contact a company for customer support. Since the tweets are public, companies take them very seriously. Their response is usually quick.<\/p>\n So the next time you are having an issue with a company, follow them on Twitter and tweet to them.<\/p>\n When you are just starting out on Twitter, you may have only a few followers. Let’s say that you want to tweet something important and you want lots of people to read it, then you would include a hashtag (#) in the tweet.<\/p>\n For example, you could tweet, “Petrol prices are soaring #Petrol<\/a>“.<\/p>\nWhy should I use Twitter?<\/h1>\n
