Twitter has taken the country by storm and everyone seems to want to have a Twitter account, or more appropriately, everyone wants you to know that they have a Twitter account. The reality is that most people don't utilise social media (such as Twitter and Facebook) in a structured manner with clear aims and objectives.
Utilised appropriately these channels can help your brand engage with its audience and can be hugely beneficial in helping you achieve your objectives. Look at the great example of crowd sourcing by the team behind the Barack Obama presidential campaign which engaged and motivated millions of younger voters to get behind his ultimately successful bid for the White House using tools such as Twitter. He might have re-appropriated the idea from Hillary Clinton but his tends to be the example best remembered (as he won!). This use of Twitter to engage an audience and get them to share your message as an advocate is how to use the tool to it's best advantage. However, you've obviously got to have a strategy for why and how you're using the channel.
