Twitter has been going through quite a few changes as of late, and business owners might want to start paying attention. The blue-bird-themed social networking platform recently added a buy button to some of its tweets. With this button, users can now buy right from Twitter on their mobile devices, a move that should bring Twitter much needed revenue; but how will it affect casual users, and are the terms attractive enough to bring new business owners on board? Only time will tell, but let’s take a deeper look into these new Twitter changes to see what’s up.

Twitter: What’s In 140 Characters?
Twitter started when a group of programmers set out to write a script that would allow them to send SMS messages to a select group of followers. Pretty soon this unique method of social networking became known as micro-blogging and Twitter took off, and take off it has. Today you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t at least heard of Twitter. It’s used by celebrities, politicians, authors, executives, sports stars, moms, dads, middle aged the elderly and yes Teens are using it en masse. The bottom line is that everyone’s using Twitter, but if you want to use it effectively, you need to learn how to use the 140 characters to your advantage.
How To Make Your Tweets Count
Are you looking for more effective ways to reach out to your audience on Twitter? The microblogging platform is popular with brands, individuals and celebrities, to name a few, and it seems that everyone is tweeting away with increasing regularity. This results in a sea of tweets that can make it difficult for your audience to discern your tweets from all the others. As a brand, you should always be looking for techniques to help you write more effective tweets. The following tips will help your tweets stand out amongst the crowd so that you can get the most return from your use of Twitter.
Everybody Loves Twitter
A new study came out recently showing that Twitter has reached 500 million users. It’s clear: everyone loves Twitter. This is great news for you, the Twitter marketer. Once you know where your audience is, you can target that audience with targeted marketing materials. That sounds good on paper, but you must tread carefully. The reason Twitter is so popular is because it is a community where people go to share thoughts and ideas. They don’t go to Twitter to be sold to and they certainly didn’t go to receive any spam. So how do you handle twitter marketing so that you can crack into this veritable cornucopia of prospects and customers? You do it by being social on the Twitter social network.
