Wow, so it’s my 100,000th tweet week and Twitter is 7 years old too. I first joined Twitter in January 2009 and it’s been an eventful journey. During this time I’ve had some great times and only a few bad thankfully. I’ve gained some amazing friends, virtual and in actual real life plus I’ve picked up work on the way. In fact I can honestly say that Twitter has changed my working direction completely. So what has happened in these 100,000 tweets?

Hi Sian,

It's been quite a journey! I think your observations about using Twitter for business and about some of the rules that apply are very sound. One of the things people don't seem to think enough about when using Twitter is what they want to use it for. For example, are you using it to share your content, to spread your message, or to network? These are three very valid business uses, but I think they all require different strategies.

Thanks Heather - certainly has been quite a journey :) To be honest personally I've never had a strategy for Twitter for myself. As it's only me it was basically getting my personality across although I didn't realise that at the time. Though obviously I share all the posts I find interesting too - and basically just chat :) For the business accounts though a strategy has to be followed although it's always ok to deviate slightly and just chat - Twitter is all about engagement after all.
