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

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

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:
