The social media diaries – 8 in 10 use Twitter for business

Some interesting Twitter news coming from the Internet Advertising Bureau today, the title of the post pretty much gives the main gist of it away – eight out of ten Twitter users use the micro blogging website for business purposes. Rather than Tweeting about what we’re eating for dinner we are Tweeting business in a bid to increase sales and brand awareness.

With this fact in mind it is no surprise that last week Twitter announced plans to launch a commercial account service which aims to help businesses to increase profit through the website.

The initial stages will see the introduction of fee based services and the creation of business-oriented application interfaces to provide a commercial layer over the social network.

Until this all kicks off check out the Twitter 101 for all the business related advice:
