Twitter is frequently criticised by people who have never used the service. But fans of the micro-blogging site are finding innovative ways to promote their product, service or cause using this evolving technology.
More important than understanding the operationof the technology is understanding "where" or "how" to use the technology. There are numerous resources available to help you, and the following Coresoft Tweets are there to help increase your exposure and to help you get important information as it comes to hand.
This Twitter account is one of many Coresoft accounts.
Each used to disperse different types of information to those peopleinterested in the topic. Twitter helps in this regard as a person can follow / unfollow topics that are relevant at the time.
The "channel" approach is one of many techniques you can master, and with participation now well accepted as mandatory for any professional body, early involvement will help you learn lessons from your peers that will be expensive to recoup if you choose to be a "late adopter" of these technologies.
Go to Twitter and create a personal account (Don't try to create a company or organisation account without first talking to Coresoft)
Follow the instructions in Twitter and get acquainted with the basic tools (ps. To send a message out into the world from your tweet, type in the message and press Update).
Use help on the top of your Twitter account to get familiar with the facilities and their purpose.
Follow one or more Coresoft tweets so you can learn / share experiences with like minded professionals in the Coresoft (NFP) community.
Then LISTEN, FOLLOW and PARTICIPATE. The only way to understand the benefits of this technology is to participate.
Search for topics that interest you, follow people or companies that are in line with your products, services or cause(s).
NOTE: Development Council members can apply through your representative to join Workshops and SIG's on Social Media development.
