#ProTip: Engage and have a better time using twitter with these 5 quick tips.
With more than 255 million monthly active users, twitter is an online juggernaut for communication and socialization. More than 500 million tweets are sent a day. It’s used to interact with people far away in real-time to create shared experiences across the county (MLB’s All-Star Game #ASG) or even the world (#WorldCup). Plus, as we all remember it played an important role in political protests in the middle east.
Yet some people still question the purpose of twitter. They don’t understand how it would fit into their lives. Like all social media sites, at its core twitter is about connecting with others. Unlike other sites, it focuses on brevity. Posts are limited to just 140 characters.
Many use twitter to give quick updates to friends and family: They share a quick update about their day or share something they find interesting. Others use it to promote their business or spread news. You can also get customer support or ask questions (just ask Chris Morata about this). It’s also an awesome way to keep up with the news and current events. Just be sure to add me on Twitter: Follow @EricRitter
