R U Twittering!
Last night I participated in a Webinar about the power of Twittering. I am amazed how much I don't know about Social Media! In this tech crazy world we live in, everyone is bombarded with Facebook, UTube, Myspace and now Twittering. Twittering is basically an instant messaging network. You can talk about anything with anyone in a blink of an eye.....or tap of your fingers. It's a new way to connect with people and network. I'm not convinced I need to do this or have the time to do this but it did open my eyes to the way people are using it for their business. Gone are the days of "After Hours" Chamber events...now it seems you must tweet in order to keep up with the fast pace of networking. No more...what do you sell and why should I buy.....now it's.....random thoughts (A long drawn out way of getting you to "follow" me and "like" me so I can then sell to you). It seems kind of like dating.....Yuck! R U Twittering?

I am on Twitter for the company I am with. It works for some people and probably not for others. We haven't made a big sale YET. But it has presented several opportunities. We are in the process of bidding a commercial job as of last week. It is essentially getting people to like you, but just like a blog, it is sharing useful information which in turn people appreciate and like you! It's fun too! I have met plenty of people face-to-face who I was first familiar with on Twitter. I enjoy sharing about my business but also about the area I live in (Asheville). People reach out all the time with questions on Twitter and they appreciate the answers even if it isn't related to your business. But then they become familiar with your business after you've helped them.
