What is Twitter?

4. Twitter is a social networking service that allows users/members to send
text-based messages up to 140 characters in length.
This is known as micro-blogging.
Updates are displayed via the user's profile page and delivered to users who
elect to “follow” the sender’s updates.
The sender has the option to enable a public-facing account (open to
everyone) or restrict the delivery to his or her circle of friends
Users can opt to receive routine updates via SMS, RSS, the Twitter site,
Facebook, or via email.
What is BlackBerry technology?
BlackBerry is a handheld Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) introduced to the
market in 1997 known primarily for its wireless email capabilities.
BlackBerry can also provide the user with access to the Internet, as well as
maintain an internal address book,
Advanced configurations include utilization as a pager device, serve as a
modem for a laptop, and Global Positioning System (GPS).
BlackBerry has infiltrated the commercial and government sectors largely
due to integrate with Microsoft Exchange Server and its ability to store and
forward internal Outlook accounts. This trend has solidified the rise of the
telecommuter/mobile working sector of the world’s population. BlackBerry
is designed by a company known as Research In Motion.

What benefits would integrating Twitter into my BlackBerry messages
deliver?

5. Provides “Passive Invite to Your Twitter Page”
For many BlackBerry users, it is their primary means of communicating
messages.
Integrating Twitter into those messages will provide a “point-of-entry” for
your friends and contacts
to access your account “passively”.
Consider it a friendly reminder with each message that is sent via
BlackBerry.
Increase Memberships/Sales targets
Twitter can be used for many purposes from “announcing” breaking news
for media outlets to
Black Friday sales after Thanksgiving for Retail businesses. If you are
armed with a solid
email collection system, proper usage of Twitter will increase sales due to its
ability to utilize
SMS to reach users on their cell phones.
Eliminates “Annoying” Invite Messages
Due to the rampant mis-use of email marketing, many people are beginning
to ignore emails that they didn’t necessarily
opt to receive. Consider email blasts to be the new door-to-door salesman of
the modern era.
Adds customization to your BlackBerry Messages
Eliminates the boring and cliché “Sent via BlackBerry” tagline
