Catching the Twitter Craze – How to Jump on the Bandwagon

January 23, 2011

By: Stacy Briggs

Twitter is quickly leading the way in the social media world. It’s a great way of connecting with other people who share your interests or who might be interested in what you have to say. Something even greater than facebook  has happened and if you’re not part of it, you’re missing out. The new trend I’m referring to is Twitter.

Twitter, is a free service and is a combination of a microblogging tool and a social networking site. Twitter is a fantastic way to get more traffic to your blog and build a relationship with your readership.

Twitter is changing the way that many people connect and communicate online and should be an indispensable part of your overall marketing plan for your blogs and websites. Twitter is free to join and you can get set up with an account in a matter of just a few minutes.

Twitter has two main components. Just like social networking sites such as MySpace or Facebook, you can add “followers” and follow other people as well. They’ll receive your updates and you’ll receive theirs.

What is unique is that your messages are limited just to 140 characters, which is why some people call it a “microblogging” tool. You have to keep your messages brief and to the point.

Sometimes it’s a real challenge to get the point across in the allotted space, but it also leaves room for a lot of creativity! Coming up with ways to say what you have to say in that small space is part of the fun of Twitter. It makes you think about the core aspects of the message you are trying to convey.

Hope this helps! You can follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/EOTMintern , twitter.com/EOTMintern2, twitter.com/EOTMPR and twitter.com/EOTMpromotions

Facebook Users Go Crazy Over Zodiac Signs Changing — Just In — They are NOT!

By: EOTM Staff

Facebook users were shocked to hear that the Zodiac signs were changing, but it turns out they are staying the same after all. The news which began spreading like wildfire yesterday, increased in volume this morning as users continued to go crazy, especially those who thought they now had the wrong Zodiac sign tatooed on their body. While the real story behind the Zodiac news is slowly spreading through Facebook, there are still hundreds of thousands of users who believe that their symbol has permanently changed. While your sign hasn’t changed unless you suddenly started following another form of zodiac, it isn’t stopping many users from continuing to post about it.

Rest assured, your sign isn’t changing anytime soon. Now go ahead, spread the word, you are safe!

Engage or DIE – The Social Media Craze

Remember the days where if you wanted to talk to somebody you had to pick up a phone and call them, or how about going out to social gatherings to meet up with people and make new friends and acquaintances. Well those days seem like the stone ages compared to the new avenues we have today.

Anyone who wishes to be sociable, even the socially impaired, can take advantage of numerous social media tools that are out there. Having as many friends and contacts as you wish is now as easy as a push of a button. Whatever you want to talk about or express to the social media community at large is right at your fingertips!

Social media is also changing the way businesses market and promote themselves. There is no other low-cost promotional method out there that will easily give you large numbers of visitors, some of whom may come back to your website again and again.

If you are selling products/services or just publishing content for ad revenue, social media marketing is a potent method that will make your site profitable over time.

Those who ignore the efficacy of social media usually fall into three categories; the ones who don’t know much or anything about social media, the ones who are interested but don’t know how to use it and those who don’t believe in the value that a social media strategy can bring to any site or business. Hopefully before you finish reading my blog, I would have helped to dispell some of these feelings.

I just recently discovered link baits , a great tool to successfully getting your blogs on various social media websites like Digg and StumbleUpon, which will lead to multiple benefits for any website.

Social media is already changing the rules of the marketplace, don’t get left behind!

Think of the social news site as a platform or a soapbox. As something that gives you a chance to be heard or read, even for a brief moment of a few hours. The people who are drawn to your message will visit your site and recommend it to others.
