Twitter can seem dumb if you think the only use for it is to tell your audience what you are having for lunch. If this was the only use for the social giant then it wouldn t have made it this far. Twitter can have some good uses for social networking, but is a gold mine for businesses. People want information in concise and easy to digest forms. Twitter is a new breed of the more conventional blogging world, only on a micro scale. How many people want to read a 300 word blog on someone’s day, when they can read easily digestible updates on someone life, day or business in minutes.
As a stock holder for a company wouldn t you like to know what your company is up to. Twitter has been used during board meeting to update the public on important business decisions that can affect the price on stock.
Twitter has also hit the medical industry. Have you ever sat in the waiting room anxious to know how a family members surgery is going? Wouldn t be nice for the doctor to come and brief you every 15 minutes to let you know the progress without disturbing the surgery. Twitter has been instituted in some hospitals that allow family to follow the continuos progress of a surgery through thier Twitter account. Now family can be relieved during their wait that every thing is going well.
Twitter can also be used as a valuable news outlet. The media industry has used Twitter to inform the public about important events. Imagine a large earthquake to shook up California. Twitter can be used to give critical on scene updates every time thier is news to be reported.
If you are a market research company what better place to find out up to the minute trends then on Twitter. Find out the talk of the town and use it to launch a new product.
As long as Twitter is a monetary asset to business it will continue to flourish. There might be a chance in the future that Twitter comments can become revenue generators. Google has established their freed AdSense program which lets users make money by advertising websites. Click on the ad and Google will split the profit with you. Twitter could launch a similar campaign to keep the network booming.
What is the use of Twitter for personal use? You re right, your friends don t care about the minute details of your everyday life. Perhaps I want to go to a local concert tonight. Maybe you can post a sentence in a text letting friends know your plans and you might seem them their. The benefit from personally calling each friend, other than the obvious, is your friends want feel obligated to be their to keep your friendship.
As the networking platform continues to grow users may find that they need Twitter more than Twitter needs them. Twitter has become a valuable asset in many businesses and personal users have already become addicted to religiously checking new content.
