This is the second post of the
three-part series on the anatomy of Twitter. We’ll take a closer look at the
basics of Twitter and how businesses and entrepreneurs can make Twitter to work
to their advantage. Our previous post
talked about how Tweets work and how a Twitter network can expand. Basically,
Tweets are important in growing a quality network of followers on Twitter. However, the challenge is on how you can make
creative and catchy Tweets to get people’s attention.
To get Twitter followers, it’s best that you regularly post
relevant and note-worthy updates. If you don’t have time to sit in front of
your computer because you’re always on the go, Twitter allows you Tweet from
your cellphone. All you have to do is to set up your cellphone to link with
your Twitter account. To sign up, send
sms to your Twitter shortcode with word START.
You will get a response from Twitter and will be asked to reply back with the
word “SIGNUP” to create a new
account. Twitter will then ask you to
choose a username and you will get a confirmation message when you have
selected a valid username. With a valid
username, you can post Twitter updates anytime, anywhere using your cellphone. If you have an existing Twitter account and
you want to link it to your mobile phone, the process is more or less the same.
Just make sure that instead of sending SIGNUP, you send your username
instead. Twitter will ask for your password
and will ask you if you want to use Twitter on your mobile phone.
Remember that when you Tweet on
your phone, you will be sending it to short or long code. Short codes are used
to post and receive Tweets via SMS while long codes are used only to pose
Tweets. For a list of short codes, click here for more information.
