Twitter's Use For Businesses

This blog was inspired by Nick's post from a week ago. I think that many people instantly think of Facebook when they think of companies using social media, but twitter has been growing as a platform for businesses to advertise. My favorite company account on twitter is Taco Bell's. They use humor to promote themselves in their tweets.

I think that Taco Bell's sarcastic humor makes people pay more attention to their tweets and definitely increases the number of followers that they have. Not all companies can follow Taco Bell's style of tweeting because it could not be appropriate depending on the goods or service they provide. But I think that if other restaurants became more parody like they would see a huge increase in followers and activity on twitter.
