1. Twitter is a great and easy way to alert a large amount of people to recent blog posts or articles that have been published.

2. If you notice something while you are out and about, you can use your cell phone to send one message to your twitter network instead of having to wait until you get home to blog or email about it.

3. Twitter is easy to implement into a blog or website. This way even people who don’t use twitter can keep up with your updates, just by visiting your site!

4. Twitter can be carried with you! It has a function to send each update to your cell phone which means you won’t have to wait until you get to your computer to learn of recent business information or blog posts.

5. Twitter adds in an air of informality to conversations (even those with your business contacts) so it is easier to share information quickly and in a friendly way. Instead of sounding professional, the goal is to get the message across as quickly as possible.

6. Twitter can be an easy way to build your business/blogging network. It is easy to “introduce” people via an informal twitter conversation. IM and chat rooms work too, but twitter can be done while you are away from the computer.

7. You can type one twitter message and send it to your entire twitter network. This is great for things like company sales or “limited time only” deals.

8. You can have multiple twitter accounts. This means that you can use one twitter account for business, one for blogging, one for real life friends, etc. With multiple accounts you don’t have to worry who is getting what message.

9. Twitter is a great way to send updates—if you are late or if there is a road block somewhere, you can alert your network and help them keep their days running smoothly.

10. It’s fun (and slightly addicting)!
