twitter

do you use it?

i joined, for work. yeah... people in marketing are SUPPOSED to look at things like youtube, facebook, and twitter. that's why nobody monitors my internet activity at work.

anyway, are you on it?

 

[KillahBee]

Definitely not. I should be a lot more involved in all the social networking sites, but I'm not. It's that part of the industry that I find so goddamn empty and sad. Fad after fad after fad. But, you gotta be aware of it for the clients and whatnot.

egg zackery.
We had a meeting with our PR firm yesterday and they were showing our CEO the advantages of social networking sites. He had no clue, but after a short demo, was really into it. So, knowing that we are going to now be more involved than the little bit that I do (facebook user groups), I join twitter.

i don't get it. first i signed up, and then it asked me for the emails of the people I know that use twitter. i don't know who uses twitter. and I don't know what to say, either. who gives a fuck what I'm thinking in 140 characters or whatever.

There's been a ton of news recently about Shaq using twitter. He recently sent out a twitter message to the tune of "I'm at XXX restaurant, come by to hang out", and a couple fans actually met him there. He also just sent one out that said "I'm at XXX mall, the first person to come up and touch me gets two tix to tonight's game".

It's definitely useful for mktng/PR. Especially celebrity endorsed brands.

yeah, i can see how it would help celebrity stuff. Ours is a product based campaign, and I personally don't see that Twitter is going to make much of a difference, since our product is big, but not for the public sector.

but eh... every little bit helps.

you mean obama?
his PR firm is on it for him, i'm guessing.

 

[lartinos]

it's supposed to search your emails for friends, didn't work for me. Said there was an error, so I can't join.

yes. there was a couple of "news" items about his addiction to his blackberry and his twitter list and how it was going to have to be censored once he assumed office.
