Blog Tips

I have a confession to make:

I have worked for Compendium Blogware for some time now, which is a technology firm, providing software as a service. I should be someone that is up-to-date on the "going's on" of the internet and social media world.

** Here is my confession - I have never created a Twitter account.**

There are several reasons for my lack of motivation to add yet another social bookmarking tool to my belt.

I already have several social media accounts to track
I update my Facebook status on a regular basis - does this not annoy my "friends" enough?
I honestly just didn't take the time to look into it...

So why now? What happened that I finally caved in and created a Twitter account? Two words: Doug Karr.

Many of you know him as our VP of Blogging Evangelism, but he is so much more. Doug has been an invaluable asset to those of us here at Compendium, with his never ending knowledge of Search Engines, and his ability to always keep us in good spirits.

So for all of those out there curious about Twitter here is a brief synopsis:

Twitter: is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.

I find it similar to the "Status Updates" on Facebook, and nothing more. A great way to stay in touch with those you "follow" and always be in constant contact.

So what does this all have to do with blogging? Well its all social media of course and you can create twitter accounts for your Company, to go along wiht your Corporate blog. Just how Compendium has done, it allows us as a company to spread our presence on the web, and keep clients and employees up to date on tips for blogging, special events, etc!
