Which Social Medium Is Right For You - Twitter

in #education7 years ago (edited)

TWITTER is a bite-size blogging platform famous for its “140 characters” and hashtag. Although 140 characters still hold for tweeting and re-tweeting, Twitter lifted the 140 characters restriction first for direct messages (DM: messages sent directly to your tweeter followers), and now short posts are limited to 280 characters across the board.
Twitter is a great platform for twitting about the unfolding of an event or moment by moment updates of an event. Twitter is also a tool for sharing recipes, articles, directions, lessons, quotes, addresses, photos, video and URLs. Twitter also has a ‘ Twitter for Business’ platform allowing you to promote your business to targeted groups - for a fee of course. Twitter allows you to categorize your followers into groups called “lists”. For example, one of my lists is e-Learning. All tweets from people that I follow relating to eLearning automatically files into my eLearning list. My tweets are also posted automatically each day by a program that curates eLearning related materials across the web and posts them to my Twitter updates. Twitter's audience is most notably, the POTUS.
Tip: If you are new to Twitter, start by following others, tweet and re-tweet information that focuses on your industry or interest and soon others will start following you.
