How Twitter helped me

 

I’ve been reading a lot of articles about Twitter, but this one is “The Ultimate Guide to Twitter” from WebdesignerDepot.com.

I’ve also been reading various articles about the uses of Twitter:

10 Examples of Creative Twittter Uses

Examples of Twitter Help

I wanted to add my own example of how Twitter can help:

I had been working in the Microsoft Dynamic CRM 4.0 to implement html email templates, but was having a lot of trouble. Various forums indicated that there are email marketing add-ons to the CRM.  So I went back to Microsoft’s site to see if they offered a solution.

After an live online chat with a rep on the MS CRM website, and an unsucessful phone call, I saw that they had a Twitter account. Knowing that people tend to respond faster on Twitter, I gave it a shot…and it worked! See my images below…

Twitter can be about people helping people, without the worry of emails lost in the junk folder, phone calls, and excessive formalities.

  1. Hi
    I’m a newbie in the Twitter thingi, but I have find that its really cool tool
    if you want to promote yourself (or any other service you may like).
    Its not the most intuitive and easy to understand.

    But thanks G.d for ppl like you who helps ppl like me at their first steps into the Twitter system.

    Thank you for the post

      Great! I’m so glad it was helpful! You’re right, understanding the Twitter lingo takes some time and you also have to avoid becoming addicted. I can’t say that I’m a 24/7 user like some. Since you’re probably interested in design stuff, you’ll find there are lots of other designers to follow. I’ve found some great design links and info from Twitter.

      Nice web design work, btw.

  2. I have just come across your blog and its really interesting, I have not had the chance to really get into this whole Twittering concept but have been doing a lot of reading on different blogs to get a better understanding of it and have been amazed but what people are saying about it and how many people are hooked on it, makes me think that I have to get Twittering and soon.
