So this week my PR Campaigns class was challenged/assigned to "tweet" 35 times in one week. This meant we had to get on Twitter about 5 times a day and respond to people by @replies, post links in our tweets, and basically just get used to using Twitter professionally. We also had to start a list and add people into it. My list was called "PR Campaigns" and in that list I added everyone that is in my PR class. I figured this would make it easier for me to communicate with the whole class.
Now, when I first started this assignment I was skeptical. I know how to use Twitter, but I have always had a hard time seeing the significance of it. As soon as I followed more professionals and started tweeting more, I realized that Twitter is a very important social media tool. I was able to network with PR professionals all over the world. I got responses to my posts within minutes, rather than e-mailing people, which can take forever for a response.
I encourage everyone to take the "Twitter Challenge". It will open up many opportunities! So, go to, http://twitter.com/ and follow me at CaraRyanW.
