Twitter is great for getting feedback and answers!
By @thetechnewsblog.com
I am a well documented fan of Twitter. One of the things people often ask me, is a version of the following question;
“What’s the point of Twitter if all you do is tell people what you are having for dinner or what radio station you are listening to?”
I have posted previously on what I love about Twitter, but in this post, I would like to highlight how useful Twitter can be to you as a way to get feedback, answers, recommendations etc.
Twitter now has a massive and diverse user base. This means it has GREAT POTENTIAL as a tool to get feedback on just about anything!
With millions of active users now using Twitter, from just about everywhere on the planet, it’s no surprise to me when I see journalists and people from major news outlets using Twitter for their research.
Earlier this week, Rory Cellen-Jones from the BBC wanted some help and called on Twitter;
“planning to blog about scrabulous but need some apt seven letter words. Suggestions?“
I used Twitter this week to get some feedback on the new design of this blog and got some comments from some really helpful web designers, web users, podcasters and even a few well-known tech celebrities!.
Other uses for Twitter?
Robert Scoble is one of the smartest users of Twitter. He uses it for everything from; PR, communication and marketing – to research, information gathering and even a little micro-blogging!
Twitter can either be extremely useful or a total waste of time. In the end, what YOU get from it is always going to be a reflection of what you put into it.
