Twitter is a powerful, persuasive

business tool and right now,

These numbers, comScore account for Twitter tookperoff from 1,100% growth in a year. In other words multiplying yourself eleven simple to ‘tweet’ success times in twelve months; I would consider that expansive growth. The United States makes up one-third of the Twitter user base at around 23,500,000 visitors. These numbers are for those individuals visiting and making use of Twitter.com alone. When you add in all the tweets from the various clientstwitter there are about 50 million tweets sent a day. tops list of fastest How does this relate to business one might ask.networks My focus, being that growing social I generally write on nightlife and entertainment, is on bars, clubs and restaurants.

Many businesses have a dedicated person emwhy twitter will be ployed simply to handle their Twitter account/Facebook page(s). This than google is free advertising and thebigger name of the game is brand recognition.

As a nightlife establishment, getting your events, specials, etc out to your key demographic is paramount. Plus, out of town visitors will access the feed also and will drive your numbers. A key aspect to this
