Keep Up to Date with Springhouse via Twitter and Other Social Media

Are you social media fan who’s listed on Facebook, Twitter, FriendFinder, MySpace, and any of the hundred of other social media sites? If not then you might be missing some valuable information from your friends, coworkers and now businesses.

Many businesses are learning that there is a benefit to having a “social” relationship with their customer base. Take for example, the CEO of Zappos. The CEO is on Twitter and has a large number of followers, upwards of 10,000+ and he even follows more than that. It seems like everyone I have as a contact in my Twitter account is connected to @Zappos. A large number of followers could potentially result in a few additional sales or services. Most likely one of the reasons Zappos has been so huge on Twitter.

Springhouse has been on Twitter for a few months now and just recently started to interact with our followers and update them with valuable information about our business as well as technology in general. You can follow Springhouse on twitter and keep up to date with our monthly schedule of classes or Executive Briefing events for SharePoint and Enterprise Project Management. Also, we discuss current technology topics and link to our blog posts. All of this keeps our students and customers in line with Springhouse and offering them an added value.

What is a Follower?

Followers are good, they are the people that want to receive your “tweets”, the term Twitter users refer to for the 140 character limit message that is sent. A tweet is like a SMS or instant message, but instead of going to a particular person, the tweet is sent out publicly and your followers are alerted.

There are other ways to send out a message, you can reply to a particular tweet or send a direct message (d twittername) and only that person will receive the tweet.

On the Flip Side, Why Follow?

Since other twitterers will be following you, you’ll also probably want to get updates from them as well. That would be “following”, where you follow the tweets of people or companies that interest you. For example, the Springhouse Twitter profile follows numerous people interested in SharePoint and Project Management.
