Of all the things I could choose to blog about first--I chose Twitter. What is Twitter you may ask? If you don't know what Twitter is and you are between the ages of 18 and 34 you definately aren't as hip as you think you are. Its this simple online update thingy that Myspace and Facebook couldn't seem to make cool enough. So this guy decides to run with it. Basically you can tell anyone who thinks you're worth following (sorry for the jargon but it's your fault if you really need this explanation) what exactly you are doing, what you are planning to do, what you are thinking at the moment, what cool things people you are following are doing, and even show pictures and videos and bubbletweets--so much fun! It's friggin ADDICTING--and i'm not even a celebrity lol.
I follow my favorite celebs like the Kardashians and Swizz Beatz to pretty much just be all up in their business. That's it. I admit it--that's why I love Twitter. I mean it's a long hard road to getting a respectable amount of followers so it's worth having people up in your business but if you're a celeb--its nothing. So unfair. I have been on Twitter for almost a month (@DivaGlamFam if you wanted to know) and I'm barely pushing 100 followers. Hopefully that will change so I can get some responses to my questions (again, you wouldn't understand if you didn't have an account.)
Now on to what I HATE. Well it's a love/hate thing. I have UberTwitter on my Blackberry and it really is so convenient. I wasn't able to watch the Magic beat the Celtics tonight but I felt like I was there because I had constant updates from people I'm following. I can not only send my updates but I can retweet which is something I haven't figured out how to do on my laptop yet. I can see pictures instantly and I also get a highlighted list of tweets mentioning @DivaGlamFam (me people.) But I absolutely HATE the fact that everytime I get an update my phone is alerted. Its like they set it to default and update directly. Someone tell me how to make it stop! I can't even have my phone on anything but vibrate anymore and I am missing important calls and texts because I hate rushing to the phone and it's just Twitter letting me know that @djprostyle is on patron for the night.
If you don't have a Twitter account, you can't understand the importance of instantly reaching an audience. I can tell who knows how to use Twitter. The Kardashian sisters are a good example: always promoting themselves without seeming like they are. They invite people to come see them at events or tune in to see them on TV because they know their followers love them. And that love translates to dollars. Women after my own heart.
In closing--between us girls--get "Twit it!" The newer Twitter is, the easier it is to reach out to people. It's like Myspace and Facebook. It will get old and when that happens everyone will have a Twitter account. Your message will get lost in the shuffle. Promote your business or talent now while the iron is hot. Be bold and get ahead of the curve. Besides it's free and takes nothing but a picture and a headline. You may learn some interesting things about your favorite celeb or you may turn into a celeb. Stranger things have happened...
Stay beautiful inside and out!
