Why I Use Twitter for Business

I use Twitter to maximize the reach and impact of my key corporate values - creating a positive dialogue between my clients and their intended audience whether this is the traditional media, online networks or special event attendees. It also affords me the opportunity to gain incredible insight from other entrepreneurs who are utilizing the site to share their experiences.

How Does Twitter Work for You

By first and foremost engaging those on Twitter that I enjoy following my intent is to then form a virtual or IRL (in real life) relationship spring boarding to connection outside of 140 characters. I share and re-tweet information from my contacts that I feel others might find of interest and this has been a tremendous boost to my goal of developing connections here.

Advice
