A Global Reason To Use Twitter
We now reside and engage on a planet where 2 billion people have connections to the web and over 5 billion have mobile phones. On this web we share and socialize with friends and family. We also socialize online with complete strangers in foreign lands.
Why do we socialize and share with complete strangers online?
Have you ever joined a group because you you loved cars, photography or painting? When you turned up for the first time did you feel that you belonged and said “This is my tribe!”
Twitter can connect you to a global tribe of people with similar interests and passions. It can provide a world wide community where the creativity and ideas flow in real time and inspire you to be the best and to learn at a level that your local school could never do.
When you communicate you can do it privately in a direct message (DM) or you can share it publicly your thoughts, findings and links via an open tweet.
Twitter connects you to a global world of hyper specialization that many do not even know exists. This is a world where niches become micro niches that you will not find in your local town.

Twitter may seem less valuable than Facebook or LinkedIn when it comes to social media marketing because of it's 140 character limit and very short timeline life but surprisingly Twitter is a genuinely effective tool in social media marketing if you target who you follow and Tweet in the optimum times for posting on Twitter. The modest use of Twitter "#hashtags" can make your posts found in Twitter searches for specific subjects and the modest use of "direct messages and "ReTweets" can get the attention of others very easily. Don''t underestimate the power of Twitter.
