Nearly a week ago, Twitter celebrated its sixth birthday. Just six years ago, co-founder Jack Dorsey published the very first public Tweet to the world – probably unaware that his 24-character message would be the start to a colossal force.
Twitter now has 140 million active users and sees an average of 340 million tweets each day. Over the years, Twitter has impacted many brands by playing a key role in shaping their marketing strategy and providing a channel for businesses to interact with and receive feedback from their targets.
Many of my colleagues have noted some best practices and tips on using Twitter in past blogs. Here are a few to consider reading when you are pulling together a Twitter strategy for your business.
