Now Twitter is by no means a new thing, many of the more social media savvy guys in the office are well established Tweeters and of course 360innovate has themselves hooked up with an account (Tweet us at @360innovate).
However, the whole concept of what Twitter is and what is does both on a commercial and personal level is a bit of a mystery to a few of us here in 360. With this in mind two Twitter newbies (@PammyWeaver and @laurajdavis) both employees of 360innovate are going to take the plunge and try to become Twitter geniuses.
We want to understand what Twitter is for, what it achieves and how you can become ‘good’ at it… good meaning having lots of followers! We will utilise all the online resources we can get our greedy hands on and use this blog as a channel to document how successful (or not) they are, so that you too can reap the benefits that Twitter has to offer for yourself and for your business.

Tip 1#
The first tip comes from Guy Kawasaki, we here he is big news in the online scene… good place to start then! On with the tip, follow all the Social Media Whores (Smores), the general definition (I think) of a smore is someone who practically never leaves their computer, Tweets every 2 mins and participate in every social network site going… sounds a bit like half the 360innovate office! Anyways Guy recommends checking out TwitterCounter.
Time to seek and to, well, follow! Watch this space!
stay tuned to see how we get on!
