Here are some reasons why you should incorporate Twitter to your business or any website really, even if you are a rebel of following the media and the hype.
Incorporates Syndication
Twitter simply adds a way for readers, customers, guests, or who ever, to opt in whenever they want. Twitter offers funtionality as a feed does, except personal messages are also involved, and not just updates.

Offers Real Time Messaging
Twitter offers real time messaging that other service providers don’t often provide. Twitter simply incorporates the 140 character dialogue for friends or employees, business owners to simply converse on anything they want at almost any given time. It is simple, quick, and best of all, free.
Helps Build Brand & Authority
Thinking of a new way to improve your image to your customers or readers? Twitter is a great way to building up your site’s brand and building up your own credibility because with every tweet, you help to convince them even more that you are a speaker with passion and authority, and Twitter gives you all the functionality you need to building brand and authority.
Twitter is on the go
In brief words, Twitter is mobile, and when I say mobile, I mean really mobile. Now, you can communicate and chat on your Twitter account on the go. You could be riding a bus back home, but now you don’t need a computer to build up credibility and build up brand, now you talk and communicate with your colleagues or readers on the go through a mobile phone or any device that can connect through the Internet. Twitter takes our everyday busy schedules in mind and incorporates it to make it flexible for business owners to simply chat whenever they want.
Twitter is Viral
Twitter it self is indeed viral due to the widespread coverage on Twitter, however, using Twitter it self as a tool is a great way to get messages across to becoming viral as well. With it’s new “retweet” feature, Twitter enables people all over the world to easily spread the news one after another, virally. This is a big weapon in showcasing important events in any given minute to get the news to quickly spread quickly and painlessly. It is almost as if Twitter is the new Digg or Slashdot.
Hey look, I even have a “tweet” me button on the bottom of the page as well from Tweetmeme. Tweetmeme is another way to building up publicity as well virally, through using Twitter’s simple process of friends conversing by exchanging messages as a measurement to show which message is having the most “retweets” and publicity to be on their front page. Viral is a nice word isn’t it?
