What’s all the buzz about Twitter?

Unless you’ve been hiding in a cave, you’ve undoubtedly heard the buzz about Twitter. But did you know Twitter can help your business?  Let MetroAction show you how!  

Twitter is an information network used by millions of people, organizations, and businesses to discover and share new information every day. Everyone from techies to celebrities is using Twitter and it’s bringing people together in ways never thought possible.

This real-time information network connects you to the latest information about whatever you find interesting. On Twitter, anyone can read, write, and share messages of up to 140 characters.  These messages or Tweets are public and available to anyone. And you don’t have to “tweet” to enjoy Twitter.

As a business you can use Twitter to connect to customers in real-time, share information about your products and services, gather market intelligence and insights, and build relationships.
