A personal question 'hm...do you twit?'

I guess these days instead of asking 'Do you want a people's attention?' you can just ask 'Do you twit?' Forget about the original idea - to be able to update your relatives, friends, colleagues. Right now Twitter is your way to get people's attention to your ideas, comments, products, services, you name it. 


After you spend on Twitter more then couple month you begin to realize that people basically twit in two different fashions. Number one - shameless, bold, unstoppable promotion, people who follow this pattern consider Twitter as the next trumpet they've grabbed to scream the world about their product or services. Number two - people who have realized that Twitter is the ecosystem where they can communicate with their audience but not just push their stuff. The second way is so much harder and this is not about to be always cool in your posts or showing your superb sense of humor, it's about being a human being which is has something to tell people he cares about.


At this point the number of Twitter users has stopped growing exponentially and goes up rather gradually. I believe it suggests to the fact that it seems like the majority of people who wants to speak to the whole world has already joined 'the conversation' on Twitter.


You either don't have to join nor have to, this is your choice. If you twit it doesn't mean that you have automatically become a marketing guru or a person with a million followers. If you twit about your job and tell your potential customers about your product / service plus give them a sense that you aren't a T800 but a real human being you'll see their response. They will appreciate it. Twitter is not a silver bullet to give your business 100% success on a market, if you don't know your customers Twitter won't help to do that as you need a basic amount of information to begin with.


See you on Twitter :-)
