Add Twitter To Options Of How Someone Found Your Event Or Product

Have you ever filled out a form online and one question is how you found whatever “it” is?

Options given tend to be something like:

• Friends
• TV
• Radio
• Email
• Web site
• Newspaper

News flash, you should add Twitter too.

Why you ask particularly if you think Twitter is silly and only nerdy or marketing people and a few celebrities use it?

HELLO!!! Maybe if you add Twitter to the options you may find more are using it than you think. You may find that more than just the nerdy/marketing/celebrity crowd is using it. You may realize that just maybe instead of giggling to yourself about the word “Tweet” you should try doing one or ten to promote (in a reasonable non Spam way) whatever your “it” is.

Oh, and train your people to know what Twitter is. The last thing you want is someone saying “Twitter, what is that?” Not many better ways to show how out of touch you are than that.

That is a great much needed entry/post! If only Monster had read that before the career fair this morning, they wouldn't have seemed quite so out of it. Thanks again for the continual good content you put out here.
