Trending Topic: Mark Your Spot

I recently read an article about Twitter and how businesses can utilize this specific form of social media. The news story was about how businesses can use the "Places" application to help them more valuable.

Similar to Facebook, Twitter has allowed its users to "check in" when they arrive at a certain destination but they may now be taking this a step further.

This new idea would give businesses permanent URL's for their location. There would also be a list of the names of people who have checked in and been at their site.

While this is not currently an option for users to take advantage of, Twitter executives are looking into this for the future. This would be an interesting and exciting development for users, consumers, and owners of businesses to have as an option.

I am looking forward to how this progresses and the outcome that the future will bring with this particular application.

The Art of Business Blogging

For my Media class, we had to find an article about blogging. It was interesting to look though many articles and websites about it because there are so many different aspects and it is ever changing.

The article that I found was about business blogging. It gave many tips that companies could use to gain more publicity for themselves. One of the tips that was given was to choose the right blogging platform. What is meant by this is that it has easy access to other social media sites so that you can promote in more ways.

One other tip that I found interesting was to love your audience. The author of the blog should be friendly with everyone, even if they post a negative comment. The company can try and turn everyone into a consumer of their product and a supporter of their company. It also stated that all comments should be appreciated because that starts a flow of conversation and you gain more traffic to your website.
