Jobs! 1.6   (next Jobs! version which we are going to the publish the 1th beta in this weekend) will be able to post your Jobs! data to your twitter account so we have decide to write a twitter blog post

Before we start our blog post just think about a basic question;

What is the thing that makes Twitter so good for businesses?

You can say more than one reason but let me say my opinions

* the first would be that it is great for getting your message across to a lot of people. Twitter currently has around 6 million active users per month; many are businesses and many are individuals. In this post I am going to tell you how to make the most of this site.

* When Twitter first originated, it was used by individuals to keep in touch with their friends, and to let them know what they are doing. Recently, however, businesses have discovered the potential Twitter has to grow their business.

* Businesses use Twitter for a couple of different reasons; to build rapport with prospective clients, and to raise their brand awareness.

Some Twitter Tips

1. Increase your visibility. The more you tweet, the more people are likely to follow you. The more people that follow you, the more people you can get your message to.
2. Your Twitter Profile: Think like people visiting your profile. Think about their impression your profile has on people visiting it; is it boring, or is it something that intrigues the viewer, and makes them want to receive your tweets?
3. Be Polite and Responsive: When a person sends you a message you tweets about you, never ignore it.  because it's what you want to get from twitter . The thing you want to have is more interaction. Many people make thşs mistake , just tweeting and forgetting it. You shouldn’t do this; one of the main reasons for you joining Twitter is to interact with not only individuals, but other businesses as well
4. NEVER tweet direct sales messages, such as ‘visit this site to buy …….’ You want to redirect people to your site, and your site will do the selling for you.
5. Don’t just tweet about yourself; tweet about interesting articles you have read on the internet, and include a link to it
6. Establish yourself as an expert – if people think of you as an expert in your industry, you are going to be the first person that they ask regarding a problem they may have. They also increases the chance that they will want to do business with you in the future.
