What is Twitter?
Twitter is "a real-time information network powered by people all around the world that lets you share and discover what's happening now." For businesses, it's a simple tool that helps connect them more meaningfully with the right customers when they're talking about spending on goods and services. Twitter processes hundreds of millions of messages (or "tweets") every day. And smart businesses are taking notice. Thousands of local businesses are also using Twitter in creative ways to attract and retain customers. Why? Because Twitter users are about twice as likely to visit a company's website, post an online review, or click on an ad.
