FaceBook, Twitter and Podcasts, Oh MY!
Posted by Anastasia Valentine on Thu, Oct 16, 2008
Here are some interesting stats:
• >1 million Twitter Users
• 21 million FaceBook Users
• 200 million iTunes Users
And thousands more users signing up for their technology flavor of social networking every single day!
With the ability to reach these many potential customers, why isn't everyone doing it? Not to be the perpetuator of technology peer pressure here but there really are no excuses! We have technology galore available at our disposal and that organizations simply don't use despite its existence. I'm talking about leveraging technology to get your word out to the MASSES, and to create a buzz about what you do! May I also add, that many of these technologies are FREE...for now...
The first way I make sure I am kept up to date on what's going on in the world of technology and even the world outside it with podcasts from iTunes. I'm an audiophile and I listen to my various sound devices religiously! My Nano is perfect for me on the go. On the bus, on a plane, on a train, and even on the road I listen to my favorite music, learn new languages, get updated on current events and technology. Some of my favorite technology related podcasts are; This Week in Tech - TWIT and gdgt weekly. Outside of the fact that I go through ear buds like tissues (I've always been tough on my technology). This method is a great way to optimize time that would otherwise be spent in a non productive way. 200 Million iTunes users can't be wrong!

While we are talking about news, let's talk about Twitter! What is Twitter you ask? It's a micro-blogging forum that allows users to issue status updates to the world! Each status update is called a ‘Tweet ‘ and you can follow and be followed by users to create a cohesive virtual network. A neat way to view the worldwide status updates of Twitter users around the world is on www.twittervision.com.
