Today I received a tweet from a truly genius social media and technology tweaker, Nate Ritter. The guy can hack, crack and code with the best of them and he truly sees long tail applications to the technology spinning all around us.
Today Nate announced he is very close to topping 1,000 followers on Twitter. If you're ask what the heck is www.twitter.com check it out and setup and account.
For marketers Twitter is an application that allows you to quickly alert followers (friends, contacts or perfect strangers) of critical information, meeting spots, events, ideas, concepts or whatever ideas you can relate in 140 characters or less. Don't worry if you spill over (I do all the time) the system will create a tinyurl link to allow your friends to read the rest of your mission critical info online.
Some really cool things can be accomplished using Twitter such as tracking RSS feeds and alerting follower bases of information critical to their job, life or safety. Want to know how to change the world: http://twitter.com/makechange. Want to know when an earthquake strikes join: http://twitter.com/whatsshakin. Want CNET news: http://twitter.com/CNETNews.
These are simply a sample of real time alerts automatically publishing critical tweets to interested followers. But it gets better. Twitter is community. Think of it as a blog in your pocket but your readers can churp back ideas, inspiration, ideas or comments in near real time.
Ideas are more timely. Thoughts can shared to massive diverse social segments. Readers can know what's in your mind now, whether you have time for a phone call or email.
Communicate, share, get social TWITTER!
Take a look and if you really get crazy hit Nate up for some superior code support. The guy can build anything? http://twitter.com/nateritter.
Thanks Nate for making Twitter an info rich environment in more thna one way.
Enjoy!
