Recently, I’ve been learning more and more about social media and how to make it work for your business. Some of the most interesting and popular sites used in the social media market include Twitter and Utterz. These two have been the center of attention on Facebook and Myspace recently. Twitter allows you to tweet and Utterz allows you to be “herd”. Both features allow you to maintain a constant contact relationship with your client or their friends.
Twitter has become a new addiction for many people on the Internet. This little tool allows you to write a message of 140 characters and can be written from your phone, on Twitter or using a tool like Twhirl. Some people even use a Facebook app to keep people informed about their lifestyles. Many messages may be mundane, but some have even been philosophical. Many online business people use this tool to keep people informed about your location or even about a new special offer that may be offered through your business. However, the key is to follow people and build a relationship with those in the Twitter community. You have to listen and give feedback before people start taking you seriously in the Twitter community. This little tool is easy to use, and as a small business owner, it can help you stay in touch with the people who do business with you.
The tool called Utterz is now in its beta stage and allows you to use more digital features like audio, video, or even images. You can link your Utterz account to your blog or website and if you see or film something on the spot, you can instantly update it. This is Twitter on steroids basically. In fact, you can link the video you upload from your phone to Utterz to YouTube without going online. This is a new feature and when it comes to business use it simply allows you to communicate in a more improved way compared to a text message or email.
These little tools are useless if you are not giving back to the community you are trying to get involved in. Twitter and Utterz is another way to communicate like a blog, but in many ways it helps you improve your blog or website. If you’ve never looked at these two tools online, perhaps they are a useful tool to improve your customers’ experience with you, or you can get to know more about the people who come into your everyday life. Taking a little time out of your day to become a little more social on the internet may or may not improve your business, but it should help you develop as a better business person or individual in the global community.
