Do You Tweet? Twitter is a Real Business Tool! Seminars Teach How To Maximize Twitter for Business

Oct. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- In the past, a large number of business owners and executives thought of Twitter as a waste of time. However, research shows it is one of the most valuable social networks for business. A recent study Twitter Usage in America: 2010 found “87% of Americans are familiar with Twitter (compared to 5% in 2008). 51% of active Twitter users follow companies, brands or products on social networks. Twitter users frequently exchange information about products and services. The majority of Twitter users are listening, reading and clicking.” And a majority of journalists use Twitter to research their stories.
