If you have a business Twitter account, is it just to brand your business or something else? Is it still a good fit for the hosting industry?
I cannot see Twitter being anything more than just a way to have a way to communicate with your customers and keep them informed, especially during moments of chaos, when nothing goes right. That's as far as this industry is concerned.
Attracting customers may happen, but it'll take a highly targeted approach and a lots of man hours, not sure how viable that strategy is for a hosting company.
If you're regularly blogging and posting that to Twitter, I think you'll reach a demographic that wouldn't necessarily visit your website, plus there's always the possibility that they'll retweet your tweet. It really does not take that many man-hours.
I also spend a small amount of money each month for Facebook Ads. The conversions is not as good as Adwords but it may attracts different segments of customers.
I get some visitors coming to my site from twitter.
Please share some insight into which social networks are more popular.It seems to me that other social networks are more popular now.
What an incredibly well executed hack. They even somewhat captured the "tone" of those tweets, to make it sound more like it comes from the owner, which probably raised fewer questions by the fans.
I agree with one expert, however, this may just be the worst hack in the history of social media. I feel terrible for Twitter.
