Welcome to Business and Tweets.

This website focuses on how businesses use Twitter. Twitter is a form of microblogging.

What is microblogging?

“Microblogging is a form of blogging. A microblog differs from a traditional blog in that its content is typically much smaller, in both actual size and aggregate file size. A microblog entry could consist of nothing but a short sentence fragment, or an image or embedded video.

As with traditional blogging, microbloggers post about topics ranging from the simple, such as “what I’m doing right now,” to the thematic, such as “sports cars.” Commercial microblogs also exist, to promote websites, services and/or products, and to promote collaboration within an organisation.”

One of the most common uses of Twitter by businesses is as a notification of new postings on the company’s marketing blog sites. Tools are available that take the first words of your new blog posting and post them on Twitter. Then they tack on a link to the rest of the blog message. People who want to keep up with your postings will be notified of new ones via a Twitter message.

Businesses are increasing their usage of social media at an expanding rate. Twitter is a significant part of that.
