Here is a short video I did sharing how business professionals can search Twitter for targeted prospect pools and begin to grow their twitter followings in a very targeted manner.
Let me know what you think.
Social Media For Journalism
April 13, 2010 By 3 Comments
When it comes to the field of journalism, the ability to communicate as well as being passionate about it is very important. With all of the stress and meeting of deadlines, its hard to throw in the use of social media when coupled with all of the other demands. In this crazy world we live in, things are changing for journalists.There are many different ways of distributing the news today and one of the big keys has always been to stay ahead of those who are your competition. Now throw in Twitter for example. Its instant. Lightning fast.
It seems that more and more news stories are breaking first on a social media site like twitter, which leaves many in journalism filled with anger and frustration. One thought would be to use the search application of twitter to leverage your ability to break news across media channels outside of Social Media once confirmed from Social Media Channels. Check this twitter search link out http://search.twitter.com
Sure, you would love to get your story out there as soon as possible, but there are still the methods that have to be gone through first that slow the process down. We always seem to figure out ways to successfully incorporate new types of media into our everyday lives and in the future this may happen in journalism, but for now, its still a building process. I want to encourage you to consider using such tools as the search twitter link above.
So what tools are you using?
