CM313 – Unit 3 – Microblogs

As a benefit, micro blogs such as Facebook and Twitter are ideal for business entrepreneurs; especially for those looking to market them outside their state or country. "According to the latest numbers from comScore, for instance, Twitter.com attracted 79.4 million unique visitors worldwide in March, 2010, a 316 percent increase from a year ago" (Schonfeld, 2010). A challenge however is maintaining a separate identity from their business and professional networks since anyone can look up an individual by simply searching for them on Google. Personally I have a Facebook page but per a YouTube channel that I help and star in some vlogs, I currently have a twitter account for my character's persona. For the twitter account, I have over 5,000 followers and I only go on when looking to announce the upload of a video on one of my friend's YouTube pages. In my opinion, the two are quite time consuming and addictive if someone is on there for a long period of time but I enjoy the fact that I can communicate with others by simply sending a message electronically.
