How Twitter is Unique

Do you have a Twitter? Have you contemplated getting one but wasn't sure what made it worth your time? Twitter is a social media site like your basic Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. However, it is unique.

A similarity that Twitter shares with other social media sites is being able to "like" posts and "follow" other users. This is how you can communicate with others and get attention to your own page. Twitter  allows you to "retweet" posts you like which will show up on your own page. Posts on Twitter can be found more easily by using hashtags. By clicking on the hashtag, it takes you directly to the post related or other posts related to the hashtag. 

In fact, Twitter becomes more visual and Instagram becomes more textual. These two social media sites are on a collision course.

Twitter is the most open of all the social media. Anyone can set up an account in minutes for free and immediately start tweeting. There isn't as much privacy on Twitter like there is Facebook or Instagram. Anyone can listen in to your page and can easily find and read your tweets. They can even contact you without pre-approval. This has its flaws, though. It means that anyone can see what you are doing, so you need to be more cautious of what you post. Twitter is noisy. There will be many things happening at once and a lot of interesting stuff, so being able to focus on your own page and your possible customers and any marketing opportunities is important. 

According to "Social Media Workbook 2016", Twitter is a great opportunity for everyone and easy to set up. By having a Twitter, you are able to look for more marketing tools and create your own profile to promote your personal brand as a professional. How do you feel about Twitter?
