Chris Brogan's 50 ideas

Reading Chris Brogans "50 Ideas on Using Twitter for Business" shed some light on what is still the dark and scary world of social media. Ok, so I was being a bit melodramatic, so it's not dark and/or scary. But I'm still just a young pioneer in the vast plains of social media. But I digress. This article by Brogan pushed me from still being a skeptic of the micro-media giant known as Twitter to openly accepting it. Brogan neatly breaks down his tips into several sections, including "first steps," "what to tweet about" and "negatives."

What I like most about Brogan's article is that it offers a step-by-step "how to" on Twitter. What seems like a relatively simple social media tool can turn out to be pretty useless or even frustrating if you don't know how to use it. In my case, I'd have no idea what to tweet about. Brogan clears that up for me.

Whatever your question or concern about Twitter is, Brogan probably has an answer for you.

  1. Nice post Noah! I too was becoming frustrated in knowing what to tweet about. I think Brogan's article helped me to see Twitter in a “bigger picture” and gave great advice on how to take the negatives people throw at you and turn them positive. Haters beware!

  3. I even took this article and bookmarked it. I am too new to twitter. As I learn more things about it, the more interested that I want to tweet more. I too have accepted the Twitter.

  4. I agree with Ariel and Clare. I find it hard to know what to Tweet about. I am used to the “Facebook status” and I feel that Twitter is looking for something a little different. Brogan's blog makes it a little clearer as to what to Tweet about. Nice post Noah.
