twEEEting

Twitter is growing on me, slowly  but surely.  I am still trying to add more people and find people that seem interesting to me.  I have to admit, Facebook is still #1 on my list right now, but Twitter is right behind it.  I like that you can add people based on your interests, even if you don't know them.  I recently began following many PR professionals who are in the fashion industry and I love reading what they are tweeting about. I love fashion and clothes and it's neat to see what's going on in the real fashion world from a real PR professional.  I have also added many country singers, as well as Shaq.  I really enjoy reading Shaq's tweets because they are straight and to the point.  I am trying to use Twitter a lot more and I'm sure that once I start following a lot of people who interest me I will begin to use it more than Facebook.

Social Networking

Online social networking is one of the main ways that people communicate these days.  Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Blogs, most people use at least one of these social networking sites for some reason.  Not only do these websites keep you informed of many things going on, but they also give you a chance to get out information that is important to you and also keep in touch with tons of people.  It is also a great way for companies to form more personal relationships with their clients/customers.  I am following The Home Depot on twitter and it gives customers a chance to say what they do/do not like about the company and to list any complaints that they may have.  I think this is a great way to reach they customers in a friendly, personal way.
