Use Twitter to Run Your Business

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

twitterLot’s of people are using Twitter to grow their business, have you thought about using Twitter to RUN your business?

A lot of businesses need to keep up-to-date on what their team members are doing, and what their progress is.  The solution for this is usually a complicated and time consuming project management software package.  These project management programs often require users to go through many clicks and menus just to post an update on a project.

Why not just tweet instead?  Many companies buy their employees company cell phones, and most cell phones can now run a twitter program of some sort (or heck, can just send text messages to Twitter).  Instead of using complicated software, just setup a group of private Twitter accounts.  This way, team members working on a project can just “tweet” short updates from their cell phones whenever they have a spare moment.

While some business need more information than what Twitter can provide, most do not.  Most project managers or small business owners just need a way to check in and see what everyone is doing.  Instead of waiting money and man-hours on complicated software, Twitter may be just what you need!
