Now that Vodafone has agreed that I can send text messages to Twitter for free, I might just take the whole thing a bit more seriously. However, I am very conscious of the fact that I now need to update my status on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter amongst.
So with all this updating how will I find time to actually do anything that may be of interest to others – let alone explore how the medium might be successfully used for social networking in a marketing context?
Anyone got any views on the use of Twitter in the professions?
