Twitter is one of the most used social media networks of this era. From a common man to the most popular celebrity, everyone uses Twitter to either share their daily doings or anything they would feel like. There is no restriction on posting anything.

As for that matter, the United States President Barrack Obama is also a user of Twitter and an active one. Barrack Obama has over more than 12,000 tweets and 50 million followers on his Twitter account.

President Obama is proud of his huge Twitter following. Speaking at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Obama praised the school's studies on climate change, and added: “In fact, last year I even tweeted one of your studies to my 31 million followers on TWTR.” Usatoday.com further adds that on the crowd’s chuckling, Obama said “Just bragging a little bit ... I don't think that's quite as much as Lady Gaga, but it's pretty good ... That's still not bad.”

This maybe because Lady Gaga is one of the famous persons who is listen in the highest followers on Twitter and maybe back then President Obama trailed her. But currently, Barrack Obama has now zoomed past the singer as his Twitter feed approaches 50 million followers. According to the website Twitter Counter, Obama has the third largest number of Twitter followers at 49.7 million, trailing only singers Katy Perry (60 million) and Justin Bieber (56.8 million).

Why social forums provide a good platform for branding?

What we have recently seen is that messaging, discussion and forums are losing their importance with the rampant success of social media platforms such as TWTR, FB and LNKD. These companies have completely revolutionized the face of socializing where people now prefer to tweet on TWTR rather than opting for other contemporary platforms which were initially very popular. People specifically those who use these mediums for branding have switched to popular social sites but still none can deny the importance of places that allowed questioning and answering related to certain brands or products.

For the same reason, messaging and similar forums are extremely common. These can be in the form of websites or can be a part of a company’s sites where they provide support and assistance regarding the brand. These platforms are far better since they allow you to communicate people who are or have experienced a similar issue which popular sites cannot provide.

According to a survey conducted, 90 percent of all conversations done regarding particular brands was through forums or the messaging board. Ironically brands do not know that some social forums also facilitate these messaging boards. So here we will provide you with ways you can make your participation in forums sounder.

Follow the guidelines provided by the forum. It does not really matter how good you are at something but you need to follow the path assigned. It adhere you to the decorum of the platform and makes your contribution more effective. Following guidelines only benefits the user. It makes you more precise about the requirements and thus makes you cater to them.

Understand that the forum is not your personal space where you can brand as much as you want. One needs to understand that people don’t use it for your marketing purpose so giving space to readers is essential. If you don’t respect the forum or users liking, this will eventually lead you to a ban. Hence just don’t start spamming.

Stop being all defensive in case you have been alleged for not comprehending to the guidelines provided.  It is always better to apologize and make sure such things don’t happen again. Marketing and branding is not a one day game. So the best way to sustain the business is to be patient and avoid spamming.

Twitter empowers women

Women harassment is something that the world has not succeeded in countering despite all efforts.  Many nonprofit organizations have worked towards this cause but not much has been done so far. TWTR now wants to work on this issue, hence for this reason they have collaborated with WAM (Women, Action, and the Media) in order to play their share in making this world a safer place for women.

In order to counter this issue an online survey was established that asked women aged 18 to 25 to participate. According to consensus, many reported of harassment online. In order to counter it WAM has developed a form which harassment victims need to fill that would later be submitted to TWTR. “There are a lot of different ways that women are getting harassed and Twitter’s current reporting system isn’t catching all of them,” stated Jaclyn Friedman, who is the executive director of WAM.

The purpose of this would be to report more cases of harassment which are usually left unattended. This way, those women who cannot stand against these issues can at least record their protest against it.  These reports will reach TWTR in maximum 24 hours of the time they have been reported. Thus the actions would be immediate and would not account for delay. The purpose as explained by Friedman would be “You might report one tweet, but that may not rise to the level of harassment,” said Freidman. “But if you paint a picture of other harassment, you get a bigger story.”

Another purpose of the research would be to track the behavior of those people who are involved in harassment related activities.  This will allow the company to analyze the way these harassers behave and would eventually let them to deduce ways to counter them. This will assist them in analyzing if they follow any pattern or no.

“This must be more than just a plan to appease those of us speaking up about harassment in the short term,” claimed Emily Lindin  who is working on  The UnSlut Project, she has faced name-calling online and assaults through email or cellular phones“Threats on social media are real threats, and if those making them knew there would be consequences, they might make different decisions. As it is, reporting Twitter harassment is fruitless and blocking a user just puts a bigger target on your back.”

Thus it is now the requirement of social media giants to step up and counter harassment in order to ensure women interest. TWTR’s initiate is commendable but we need more such initiates.
