Interesting Use of Twitter
July 14th, 2010Twitter is something I admittedly never saw coming. When I did see it, I never saw it reaching the heights that it has. I wasn’t sure that little 140 character messages would satisfy people, but boy was I wrong.
I find myself using Twitter a lot to search, especially current events and products I’m interested in. More often than not, I find myself with more information than I imagined I would ever find.
One of the other things I love is finding companies who are using the technology in an interesting fashion. Enter Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream from San Francisco, California. With an ever changing menu of flavors offered, they would tweet their loyal customers what flavors they’d have, among other tweets, and do it in a style of “ice cream with attitude.”
The article I found this information lists six great recommendations for those starting to use Twitter as well.
- First of all, listen
- Do not be boring
- A live version of a FAQ
- Create a focus group
- Soapbox for thinkers
- Starting small is fine
This all comes from a great article with even more great stories from the New York Times. Click here to read the full article.
