Twitter is a social networking site that lets businesses stay connected with their customers.  A business can use Twitter to share information about the business and build relationships with customers, partners, or anybody interested in the business.

Twitter allows users to send and receive messages known as tweets.   Tweets are posts to the author’s profile page and are delivered to the author’s subscribers known as ‘followers’.  Tweets are a great and powerful way of having real-time communication with your followers.

How to start using Twitter:

1. Go to https://twitter.com/signup and fill out the four fields.  Use the ‘Full Name’ field to put in your company name.  After you sign up, you will be directed to a couple of screens to find people on Twitter that you may know.
2. Fill your information.  When you arrive at your account page fill out your company’s information.  Fill out as much information about your company as possible to help people recognize your company.  You can add your company’s logo and a background image for your Twitter home page.
3. Find people and companies to follow.  Use the search box on your home page to look for people talking about your company and products.
4. Post your message.  On your Twitter home page you can now post your first message.
