Using Twitter to build communities…
I don’t think Twitter has reached its full potential as of yet. Here are a few creative ways that Twitter could be helpful in building communities… maybe you’re already doing these….maybe you’re not… Apply them to your own world….
•What if yours and each local starbucks was a twitterer? How would that build a community to make the local coffee shop less corporate? I’m sure Starbucks could use another Purple Cow.
•What if Twitter helped you know what the gas prices of your favorite gas station were as they changed?
•What if there is a sale at the grocery store… you only get a deal if you tell the code you got from the tweet?
•What if you could follow your builder as he sends picture updates about your house?
•What if your church actually used it? As a prayerboard or an in-service tool, etc.
•What if the college president used it to be relatable…for developing relationships?
•What if your professors used it to start conversations outside of class?
•What if your boss used it to encourage and motivate his entire team?
•What if the Weather Channel sent daily updates and advisories for your zip code?
Let’s be wise with the technology we have. Have you got any other creative ideas? How might people use Twitter to build a community?
