Googling And Tweeting

From Jim Barney:

This dispatch has to do with social networking.  Is it for the birds or will it fly? 

At Click & Pledge we see lift-off, because birds of a feather really do fly together…and now they can Twitter together.

Come January ’09, we will introduce a community-building package for nonprofits, political campaigns and the like.  One component will be Twitter, a free social-networking service that connects like-minded folks via PCs and mobile phones.

I was shocked that my teenagers were unaware of Twitter; so don’t feel out of the loop if you aren’t up on “Tweeting” and other Twitter lingo.  Personally, the idea of sending or receiving a “tweet” seems silly…but we all Google, so why not Tweet? 

But Twitter is popular and here’s why: 

• It’s free.
• Most everyone sends text messages and Twitter allows you to send the same message to a network or community of followers that care about the same thing. 
• Twitterers communicate with each other in text sound bites of up to 140 text-based characters per tweet.   
• Messages are short; so it’s to the point, it’s fast and it’s easy and efficient.
• Twitter works on any browser, even mobile.

The Wall Street Journal says Twitter is widely popular among 20 to 40 year-olds.   So check it out at Twitter.com.  Give your constituents a way to chat.  It will help you build community among your donors, patrons and volunteers.
