Twitter Connects Employers, Employees

Posted on March 20, 2012 by bridgetfox

If you still think of Facebook and Twitter as a strictly waste-of-my time social networking tool, think again. Increasingly it’s becoming an essential tool for employers looking for new workers and employees looking for work. The website www.jobvite.com gives recent stats that show an increasing number of employers are using social media to recruit new employees: 83% said they’ll recruit in social networking this year; 46 percent will spend more on social recruiting and less on job boards; 80 percent review social profiles of potential employees and 45 percent are using Twitter. A Charlotte based company, www.tweetmyjobs.com connects employers and job seekers over Twitter. Free seminars are popping up all over the place on how to use social media by getting started on Twitter and LinkedIn, giving insight into how to search for an employer or an employee, and
often giving reviews of companies using social media right now to recruit talent. Want to learn how  to use social media tools for your business? We can train your staff to use it and monitor the resources. Give us a call and we will discuss your needs.

We can also help you with your website. Contact us at Concord NC website design for more information.

Tweets with Images

Posted on August 12, 2011 by bridgetfox

In June, 2011 we posted a blog about the soon to be released Twitter photo and video service. Twitter has just confirmed this photo sharing and uploading service is now available to all users. In the box on the bottom of Twitter.com called What’s Happening? users will find a camera icon. This allows selection of a picture and a preview of it before sending it out there. A Twitter with a photo contains a link to pic.twitter.com with a thumbnail of the attached photo. As we said in the earlier blog, a picture is worth a thousand words. That’s a lot more than 140 characters.

A Thousand Words on Twitter

Posted on June 13, 2011 by bridgetfox

Twitter has launched its own photo and video service. This means photos and videos can be connected to tweets and be viewable on Twitter.com without having to leave the site. Users on mobile versions of twitter will soon be able to add photos and videos from apps. Twitter’s partner in this new service is Photobucket that will further allow users to link to a
page where they can edit, share or save their photos. This could be another useful tool for promoting a product or service that is hard to describe in 140 characters. We all know a picture is worth a thousand words.

Twitter as a Micro-blog

Posted on May 26, 2011 by bridgetfox

Use twitter to find new customers then direct them to your Facebook page or your website. Twitter is like a micro-blog and can be an effective way to conduct market research with your customers. Ask them questions and solicit their opinions on your service or product. Grow your following slowly. It’s an easily overlooked way to promote your account. Make
sure your twitter username and link are included in all your marketing materials as well as business cards, email signatures and main website.

Too busy to Tweet? Let us help you set up a blog site and create messages about your company that we’ll send automatically to your Facebook page, Twitter and any other social media platform you wish. Give us the information and we’ll do the rest.
