WildBlueSkies – Trends and strategies in Digital Media

Twitter plans to educate users, individual and corporate and mom and pop shops, about ways on how they can use Twitter for their business and make money off it. This beginners’ manual of sortsoffers case studies, best practices, and even a handy guide to Twitter lingo.
The resource offers rudimentary advice, from how to set up a profile page to how to find relevant followers. The Twitter dictionary offers definitions of simple terms like “followers” and “tweet” for the uninitiated, but also provides explanations of some of Twitter’s most unique features, such as retweets and hashtags.
This is part of the effort to generate revenue through various add-on tools and services for the business and professional users of Twitter.
This comes on the heels of some documents which forecast a plan where Twitter would take in $4 million by the fourth quarter of 2009, and grow to 5,200 employees and 1 billion users by the end of 2013. While Twitter claims the documents are out of date and not necessarily accurate, they finally seem to be moving towards monetising the platform.
