Twitter

Before the social media assignment for class, I did not have a Twitter account nor did consider even creating one. I thought that Twitter was an interesting form of social media but that it was not for me. Ever since I have created an account, I have tried to tweet everyday. I have found it to be very intriguing and I enjoy learning more about it.

I did not think that I would have found as much value in Twitter as I have since creating an account for class. Personally, I think that it has been a very good source to know what is going on in the world as well as at school. I follow Marquette University on Twitter and various news organizations so I hear about local events going on as well as breaking news stories. I think that people who perceive Twitter to be a useless social media tool are acting naive and do not understand the many purposes that Twitter can be used for as well as the significance that it can have on your knowledge of a particular subject.

I think that my client, Krueger Dental Associates, can expand their age range in clients and their intended audience by using Twitter as another form of social media. I think that if they were to have a Twitter account, they could post about many thing such as upcoming events as well as new products and services that they are offering. I think that this would be an extremely helpful tool because it is an easy way to share information about their practice and it shows clients that they are aware of advanced technology and are willing to update their means of reaching an audience to fit their clients needs. 

I really enjoy following 5 people and organizations on Twitter such as--CNN, The New York Times, Marquette University, shitMUdoesntsay, and PRSA Jobcenter. I would definitely consider following all five after the social media project is completed, for many reasons. I like to follow news sources such as CNN and The New York Times because it is an easy way to remain updated on current events. I think that is also important to follow Marquette University so that I always know what is happening on campus. I think that it is important to add some good humor to your day as well so would continue to follow people that consistently tweet funny things such as shitMUdoesntsay. Lastly, I would continue to follow PRSA Jobcenter because I think that it is important to know information on jobs and current PR events and news especially since it is my intended major. Ultimately, I think that Twitter has been an exceptional form of social media and I have found it to be very interesting.
