Twitter and HR
Posted on Monday, March 26, 2007 by Frank Roche
Are you a Twit. Ever been Tweeted? If not, what are you doing?
“What are you doing?” is the question that Twitter, the latest social media rage, asks its users. If you’re not Twittering, your employees certainly are.
With Twitter, you can write about what you’re doing in 140 characters or less. You can track what your friends are doing. You can look at what the Twitterati are doing. And you can use the service as a message board.
Got a snowday alert? Twitter it. Going to an important meeting? Twitter it. Have an interesting link to share? Twitter it. All the cool kids are doing it. What are you doing?

Twittering could be either a useful tool or a major distraction. If an employee could look on his/her screen and always knew where colleagues are, it would save time on calls, emails, and blackberrying.
On the other hand, constantly writing new tweats… with the added pressure of being clever… might make twittering a full-time job.

I agree Sarah. I just started doing it and I’m not sure I get it. Perhaps I’m getting old or something? It may be the fact that I’ve just started though and I wil keep it going and see what happens!
