Why would a business want to have a presence on Twitter? What would be the purpose? Here&#8217;s why I like Twitter for business use: When you write content for your blog or add a new page to your website, how do you let people and search engines know you&#8217;ve got something new? Twitter! By linking tweets to new content you can drive traffic to those new pages. Want to get on the news? If you find something interesting or a top story, post it on Twitter and you may be amazed at the response from high profile news media. You and your business may end up on the news. News agencies prowl Twitter looking for breaking news. Leverage the power of hash tagging to get attention. Do you need to know what others are saying about you and your services? Use Twitter searches to monitor traffic and respond to issues, questions, or solve problems fast. Even if you are not using Twitter personally or for your own business, your clients and competitors are. Leverage exposure on the Web and keep your finger on the pulse of what&#8217;s happening by getting active on Twitter. We can help with that!","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/www.mccordweb.com\/weblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/mpj043847800001-300x270.jpg"}
