Twitter lets you write and read messages of up to 140 characters, or the very length of this sentence, including all punctuation and spaces. The messages are called Tweets, and can be sent from the Twitter website, or your mobile phone. By “following” another Twitter user, their messages appear in your Twitter view so you can see the conversations that are taking place in real-time.

Editor's Notes
- Mass communication is now available to the masses.The average Facebook user now has over 100 friends. That’s the *average*!!!!My 200 connections on LinkedIn provide me with access to over 2M people!
- The rules during engagement are simple. In fact, in 44BC Cicero wrote 9 rules for public servants to observe whilst ‘on duty’ with their public – these are still relevant today!
- But beyond monitoring brand terms, you should really get into the heads of your audience and see what else it is they are interested in, and find the ‘content glue’ that can be the magnet between your marketing message and your audience.
- We offer a Social Media Monitoring service that pulls in feeds from social media based on brand or service keywords. VicRoads is currently using this service to monitor consumer sentiment about their brand.
