Twitter uses the basic what are you doing now? information sharing forum, not unlike the one that Facebook uses, as the main heart of their website. The main focus of Twitter is to share what youre doing at that exact moment along with pictures and links etc.

Twitter is essentially, a massive database of people whore all interested in different topics. If you tweet about a particular topic on a regular basis, then others whore interested in that topic, and like what you write will follow you. Your words can then influences their thoughts on that topic and over time youll build up a large following which can be converted into business leads for your company.

How does it work?

First you need to sign up for an account. Ours for example is http://www.twitter.com/deeho

I would suggest trying to get a username that is related to your subject matter as it will be easier for people interested in your topic to find you.

You will then need to add some more information to your account such as some personal details, your website address and a small biography. This biography is searchable within Twitter so you should make it keyword rich in order for people to find you.

Tweeting itself is so simple it doesnt even need explaining. You have 140 characters to use to write your tweet about what youre doing or thinking about at that particular moment.

You can make a comment, or as most people do, you can use the 140 characters as a compelling headline with a link to your website or blog, where your Story is written in more detail. This is how most people use Twitter, to drive traffic to their main site, or to a recent news story they have written.

This is Twitter in its most basic form. You can use http://twitterfeed.com/ to automatically post each blog entry that you write onto your Twitter page within minutes of you publishing it. This saves you having to do two things.

You can also use http://bit.ly to shorten your blog URL and also to post your entries into Twitter. Most tweeters use this technique as it saves them having to paste everything they write into Twitter again and again.
