Ohk.. so i was wondering abt the topic of my next post and thats when my good friend Roach came with a question.. " U douf ... what do u do all day on that shitty twitter"...So this post goes out for all those who have an account on twitter and have wondered what to do with it..And how has the world caught upon the craze with a a simple question: "Whatss on your mind"...(Well all of us know twitter is gone way beyond that.. its gone real time with videos,pics,retweets,hashtags,apps,tools and what not)..But in this era of microblogin that proves to be the most important question... :-)
Ps for those if any who have no idea what twitter is go to http://twitter.com/login get urself an account and have a feel of it first hand...Those who have mastered the art of microblogin leave comments so that i get know stuff...and those who r wondering read through the post.
Ohk lemme start of by tellin u guys why does twitter contain the power its said to have..Currently we have email, instant messenger, and VoIP tools like Skype as one-to-one or one-to-few online communication tools. For one-to-many online communication, online publishers can turn to blogs to create and distribute content rapidly and reach anyone on the web through RSS feeds.Twitter is a combination of these various forms of communication, but its primary difference is that posts, or tweets, are restricted to 140 characters or less. As a Twitter user you can post updates, follow and view updates from other users (this is akin to subscribing to a blog’s RSS feed), and send a public reply or private direct message to connect with another Twitterer...
Ok so lets get to specifics.. What can u do on twitter
1) Twitter for fun: Well a thing ive always wondered about is how do i keep myself occupied.. cause aim on e of the most jobless human being on the planet yet iam seldom if ever bored.. No Iam not gonna say that I twitter but what i have found out is that ive got shit loads of jobless friends aside me all the time...So whats the point.. The point here is twitter is an easy way to broadcast your messsages to all your friends...Gone r those days when u had to personally scrap each and every one now u can just answer the question whats on your mind... Let ur friends know.. and know from ur friends..
Whats more u have tools, apps,and games u can sync ur twitter account with......to mention a few 140 mafia, tweetfight,snods(which expands as Social Networks Online Defence Squad),trivia and my personal fav Spymaster....to say a lil bit about Spymaster:in this you play a character of Spy for any of these agencies; American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), or the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). And the game is all about your pursuit of becoming a Bond (with a caliber of James Bond). It is worth trying as it has surely revolutionized the whole concept of social networking games. Discover it...WARNING: its highly addictive.... :-)...
Among tools and apps.. U could literally give power to a city for an year if u divert the power spent on making Twitter apps and tools.. there r shit loads of them online..to retweet, to hastag,to create a new fridayfollow, to send easy tweets, to manage tweets and for every possible human online action.. just google your requirement out guys....
2)Twitter for jobs: Well yea...Its not a woohoooo concept... It would require the same skills out of u as it would take a person roamin around from one recruiter to the othe rfor a job..well ur activity would be just less physical... Well lets face no one gives u a job for nothin.. and ppl recruitin are smart.. so all thise ppl who have got the idea that they r just a couple of clicks away from a new job,, all ive got to tell u is get ur head outta ur arse...but TWITTER HELPS A GREAT DEAL NEVERTHELESS....
Ohk here the traditinal approach is make an impressive profile,add a link to your CV.. utilize the background to promote yourself... tweet about your field, get ppl interested in your tweets when they search(or arrange for retweets .. hehehehe...)..Get to know the right ppl through their bio(Stats tell that lotta recruiter use twitter for recruitment)..Send them direct message.. basically get interested in u or atleast in your account...BLAH BLAH..I have no clue how many ppl have got themselves employed this way.. but neways thats not the way Iam asking u to do it
I d like to give u guys 2 AMAZING TOOLS FOR SEARCHIN FOR JOBS ON TWITTER...
@Microjobs
Started by well-known PR professional, Brian Solis, @Microjobs was developed to bring together job seekers and recruiters through tweets.
How does it work?

3)Twitter For Work: Well the real power of twitter is amount of ppl logged onto it.. all the above said turns to crap without it..This global nature of twitter has been a boon for the class of society that we fondly call celebs.. They can now connect with their fans in a way that dosent breach their highly valued privacy :-s and still reach out to each and evry one who wants to know abt them... I know u dont wanna read ne more abt this crap...So waht if SRK has 400,000 followers.. how does it make the experience any more usefull for us?
Well wanna promote an event.. or just let ppl know ur rock band is playin somewhere for that extra bit of crowd...Tweet it out mate(to be pronounced in an austrailian accent.. sounds weird without it....)...get a few retweets.. ppl will search.. ppl will stumble upon ur tweet
