Why You Might Want To Get On Twitter After All

A lot of people have dismissed Twitter as not being relevant to their world - and I will be the first to say that the majority of people on there seem to be small business owners, entrepreneurs and people promoting a product, image or service. And then there are those who keep people totally current on technology, health, finance, industry updates, politics, business, sports, hobbies, celebrities and everything in between.

This works to everyone's benefit.

Regardless of what you are interested in, there are TONS of people on Twitter who are dedicated to flowing the most current and most interesting information (via links, pictures, videos, websites, etc) to their followers.

If you have a regular desk job, don't you want to stay current on your industry? Aren't you interested in what's happening day to day in your business world? Twitter literally hands you all the information you need to stay totally current. Put forth a little effort to find the right followers and you're all set. Just scan the list of posts each day and click on the posts that appeal to you and ignore the others.

While you're on there, find people who post on your hobbies too. Huge Steelers fan? Love Feng Shui? Die hard American Idol fan? You won't miss a thing once you're following people who tweet on these things. People don't want to lose followers and they are usually trying to promote their business, so they tend to post valuable, interesting content.

You don't have to tweet to others if you don't want to. You can simply follow others and get all the updates you want or need. Twitter is unbelievably powerful - if you want to stay current or looped in, this is an amazing way to do it.
