WebWatch: Twitter and its entourage of apps

Using Twitter for business was all the rage at the Email Marketing Sumit this year, so with a bit of a “here we go again with even more social media eck eck” yawn, I decided to check in and see what it was all about.  Three days later, I am completely and irrevocably HOOKED.

Apart from the opportunity to see daily just what an awesome couple Ashton & Demi really are (he asked everyone to help him greet her good morning and she got thousands of “Good Morning, I love you messages” when she woke up! Awwww!)… how funny Christopher Walken is… what Perez Hilton is squealing about at any given moment (yesterday it was Madonna. He thinks she’s God) … and more, I also now see what an incredibly powerful  business tool it really is.  (More about that in future posts - am busy reading what P Diddy, MC Hammer and Michael Urie are saying.)

If you aren’t on Twitter yet, try it out!  I’ve posted a couple of great “Getting Started on Twitter” videos below, courtesy of Rich Brooks of Flyte New Media.

You can also find an article about 27 cool Twitter applications here.  (My faves so far: Twitter Gallery, Digsby, Splitweet and twtQpon) 

Happy Tweeting!  You can find me at www.twitter.com/chiniehdiaz
