Why I use Twitter

Category: OtherJonathan @ 04:51

It is amazing how these sorts of tools divide opinion.
I usually blog about technology, especially framework oriented things, but I have been thinking a lot about business again. How can it work for business.

For example, a company I have here in my midst, Oxford Creative, arose from building sites for the car manufacturer Seat. (They are searching for clients, so get on board quickly, as they are a small but effective team.)

I have been talking about twitter and many of my friends do not see the point.

But twitter, is less evasive, more rapid, more dynamic than any other social media tool.
I do not get hounded by it. I switch it off, its off. I switch it on, I have access to some great minds.

I found this How To Use Twitter Effectively for Business and Advocacy, which says a lot about its power, amongst many other posts, which have been floating around twittersphere.

I use it, because I can meet some interesting people, like @unclebobmartin, and @kentbeck, @bigballofmudd (Brian Foote). I like twitter because its less intrusive than phones, emails and facebook, but its powerful enough to communicate.
