Today I wanted to share some more information on Social Networking and share an article on Twitter that is posted at ars Technica  .

The article is called Twitter: Far more than “what I had for lunch today”.  In reading it for me it just reinforced what I have already known and that is that using Twitter as a tool to communicate what you are doing in business as well as interact with others that you may be doing business with or will be doing business with is very powerful.

In this article the power of Twitter is shown in how the Scottsdale Az police department uses Twitter to communicate with the community on city issues, road closures, construction and even crime.

Another usage of Twitter that is being harnessed by business is the use of Twitter to help fix problems and discuss both compliments and criticism.  Comcast is one company doing this .

The article is a good read and can be read here to see the power of Twitter:
