Twitter going more main stream

Monday, March 9th, 2009 at 11:08 am

Yesterday I picked up a new follower – my local newspaper. More and more the press and others are getting involved in social media. Now I don’t live in a major metropolitan area and the local paper is not covering a major metropolitan area. Most of our big towns the average person not from this area would not recognize.

The major news outlets have long had a presence on Twitter. Fox News has been using it for quite some time (but then again Rupert Murdoch owns them). Twitter is growing by leaps and bounds at this point.

At the very least you should have an account and be watching how people are using it. More tips in the video below.
