Twitter is the latest social media tool that is taking off faster than the speed of light. Facebook and MySpace are being left as second and third choice to the thousands who are flocking to the sound of Tweet, Twits and Retweets on Twitter.

The race is on to become the first Twitter millionaire so to stake your claim be prepared to adapt your marketing skills to include 140 character micro blogging commonly referred to on Twitter as Tweets.
 
Twitter has attracted many big name fans, attracting celebrities and multi-millionaire marketers alike and if super marketer Oliver Turner’s viewpoint on the future of Twitter comes into being, it may well be the next Google at least for the next couple of years.
 
One important thing to remember when using any social media tool is that its primary purpose is to be a social platform and you need to respect that especially as this is a free way in which you can brand yourself, build relationships and marketing your business and affiliate streams of income.
 
Apart from being great fun, Twitter asks every all important user the question “What are you doing right now?”
 
By following people with similar interest and connecting with like minded people you build your following and followers lists, updating and sending direct messages, retweeting other people’s tweets and sharing information with the Twitter community is your primary focus.
 
Although Twitter may seem to be a waste of time at first to many, the applications and usefulness of Twitter cannot be underestimated. Its ability to update your Facebook status, My Space and blogs with one simple function, and scheduling of Tweets to release over time using tools such as Tweetlater make using this social media platform unequalled by any other.
 
Other applications such as Tweetdeck allow you to interact with people immediately, search for specific people or topics, find out the trends being talked about the most plus a whole host of other advantages that are fast making it the most popular social media platform since Facebook erupted on the scene.
 
If you have so far ignored the lure of the world of Twits and Tweets you may just want to take a second look at the tool that is currently the hottest favourite for generating free leads, promotions and self branding before you miss out completely.
 
Getting creative with your Tweets helps keep people interested in everything you are doing, try a blend of quotations, quips, humour, marketing & above all being yourself.
