Hello. I wanted to get some advise from those who are experienced twitter for business users. Basically I want to use twitter with specific categories on a website and am unsure if this can be done. I don't want people to 'follow' the entire site and be bamboozled with tweets which are not really relevant to them or there location. For example: Viewer a lives in Boston and only wants to receive tweets for updates to the web page 'boston' Viewer b lives in Chicago and only wants to receive tweets for updates to the web page 'Chicago' etc So how would I do this, would I need to setup a twitter account for each page (and therefore a new email address for each page) in order to post tweets to those relevant pages or is there some other type of filtering that could be used? Hope that makes sense! Thanks for any advise. Andrew
You can probably use hashtags! Try it, I use them in Google Plus a lot. Works well. https://support.twitter.com/articles/49309-using-hashtags-on-twitter Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of hashtags but am I right in thinking you can't follow a hashtag?
Yes, you cannot follow hashtags. I bookmark and check tweets with specific hashtags, and go back to them from time to time. e.g. to bookmark DP you could use https://twitter.com/search?q=%23digitalpoint. You can also use TweetDeck, HootSuite (put your hastag in Keyword) or similar tools to virtually follow hashtags. If your site categories are not related at all, and if users are expected to start a revolution since you send out tweets in so many categories - you could simply use multiple accounts. e.g. @prakarma-finance, @prakarma-living instead of just @prakarma
