Ready, Set, Tweet!

So, i’m learning about other social networks in my PR Corporate and Publications classes, and I recently joined Twitter. I, along with other students who are venturing into this networking site, initially thought that Twitter was just a constant update of ‘followers’. But I have discovered over the past week that Twitter can be much more valuable than just checking out your friends’ profiles, like on facebook. Sure, much of it simply lets your ‘followers’ know what’s new with you or how your day is going, but Twitter is already serving as a great networking tool for me. I’m still learning, even the basics, but this site gives you opportunities to make important contacts that could impact your career. I am already following a few big names in the business world, and I am hoping that networking on Twiiter will be an advantage for my future in public relations.
