Recently, Twitter has been getting a lot of publicity. A day doesn't go by that we don't hear about Twitter on the Radio, TV, or see it in our magazines. All the big businesses seem to be getting on Twitter.
The question I'm being asked is, "How do I use Twitter for MY small business?" It's really not an easy answer because we are still on the cutting edge of Twitter. We are just now seeing Twitter move from the "early adopters" to the the mainstream.
But, it is time to get started even if you don't see immediate results. It's time to claim your brand on Twitter and learn as you go.
Be sure to read the Twitter Guide for Small Businesses.
At Twittip.com I found a really good slideshow that explains Twitter for Business. Watch it and get started with your own business and personal Twitter accounts. (By the way, I found this article in my Twitter Stream. A classic example of how Twitter is helping me in my business in finding relevant information I can use in my business.)

How to Use Twitter for Your Business
Saturday, May 17, 2008
What is Twitter?
I've recently opened my new "Twitter" account. There is a lot of buzz about Twitter and how it is being used as part of a social networking strategy.
So what is it? It's another social group you can join to build relationships, create joint ventures, and attract prospects to your business.
It's like a blog, but limited to about 2 sentences.
So for example, if you update your blog, you can post it on Twitter. "Just posted a new article about (insert blog title.)" Then your followers can click on the link and see your new post.
Today, I learned that when you set up your Twitter account, you can create a link from Twitter to your blog that will allow your blog followers to become Twitter followers. Try it out. Click on the link on the right.
It's all about leveraging your time.
Here's a short video to explain Twitter in Plain English.
Today, set up your Twitter account at http://www.twitter.com
