Twitter is a messaging service enabling short messages of 140 characters or less to be sent to hundreds or thousands of your “followers” at once. It’s a bit like broadcasting a text message but with the advantage that messages can be received however a follower wishes such as on a computer, laptop or mobile. You also add links to websites, pictures and so on.
Many financial services professionals, providers and professional bodies including the IFP use Twitter extensively to keep people updated regularly with what they are doing. To set up a Twitter account do this:
1. Go to Twitter.com and set up an account. This should take less than two minutes.
2. Once your account is set up, simply log in and enter the names or ‘handles’ or individuals you want to “follow” (receive Twitter messages from). You’ll then start receiving messages which you can read when you wish.
If you’ve not tried Twitter give it a go today and keep yourself in the loop on a daily basis. If you don’t find the service useful you can always close your account.
