Many experts thought it would never be such a success, pointing out that restricting tweets to a maximum of 140 characters would prove frustrating and eventually unworkable to users; how wrong they were.These days, people from all walks of life and all corners of the globe head to the site on a daily basis to offer their own opinions about life, and to follow the random musings of others.READFind When Your Twitter Followers Are ActiveMany world-famous celebrities are regular users, and they see Twitter as a way of speaking directly to fans without having their words distorted by the occasional inconsistencies and half-truths that the newspapers provide.Followers could become customersT hose businesses that have woken up to the possibilities offered by Twitter have been able to build up an impressive number of followers, and can therefore pass on important, potentially lucrative information about marketing campaigns, price reductions, special offers and new products.And don’t forget, their list of followers consists of people who have already expressed an interest by following them in the first place. Therefore, every one of them could easily be converted into a customer.The revenue streams that can be generated by companies that incorporate Twitter into their marketing strategies is simple incredible. Any business that doesn’t get in on the act is taking chances that aren’t necessary.
