Twittering

The Twitter world has become all the rage lately, especially in the college demographic. Most, if not all, college students have and post on their Twitter sites daily. Many articles I have read today are saying that Twitter is no longer considered a fad but here to stay. This is especially important for businesses today. To reach a younger generation, businesses are going to have to join and participate in the Twitter world. This might be a little scary for the older generation but is necessary to reach a broader customer base. I work for an interior designer and she has recently started using Twitter. She's the kind of person that talked about "getting some Twitter".  I have recently showed her how to use it and she is doing a very good job of keeping up with it. So I want to give some advice if anyone is looking to help an older boss out. 1. Take is slow!! They need to understand it all the way to use it. They will get confused but it's easier to stay and wait it out than to quit on them. 2. Write it down! My boss does very good with lists so I tried to get her a list of everything to do so she can remember. 3. Let them do it themselves! They need to figure it out for themselves (or at least my boss did). She needed to navigate around the page herself rather than just watching me do it. My boss has done a great job with doing these steps and I know yours will too!
