Gourmet Ads on Twitter

Twitter has been named by some as the next huge thing on the internet and it could be. But if you haven’t heard of Twitter, that’s ok. As with most dot com start-ups these days the initial growth is fuelled by Silicon Valley geeks and Tech bloggers. However in past few months, Twitter has started to spread into other industries, with particular growth with food bloggers and advertising professionals.

So what is Twitter? Well Twitter is social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send “updates” to your friends or followers. Twitter is great for staying in touch and keeping up with friends no matter where you are or what you’re doing. Your friends simply choose to follow you, then they’ll get updates as you update Twitter.

One of the great features of Twitter is that you don’t have login via your web browser and add your update. You can login via your mobile phone, send an SMS to twitter and it updates. Your “Followers” can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email or through an application, such as Tweetfox which is add-on to my Firefox browser. We also automatically add our RSS feed directly into the Twitter account using Titterfeed.

It’s not just people that are joining Twitter, even companies are jumping on the bandwagon check out AdTorque, Adtech, DigitalMinistry, which are all active on Twitter in the advertising space.
