Everybody knows Twitter as the trending social media network that buzzes with posts, pictures and daily news. Almost everyone and anyone has an account especially the younger generation and celebrities.Rumor has it that Twitter is coming out with a new homepage soon. This will appeal to the non-users of Twitter, like lawyers. I noticed this problem when I went to an internship interview at a law firm and found out they aren't using Twitter as a means of networking. The problem is that Twitter appeals to a younger market of people. Crazy thing is that less than 15% of lawyers use Twitter.
In order to appeal to a more mature audience, this social networking site is going to have a whole new design. The goal is to make members feel more part of the community and be more open to conversation and marketing on the site.
Here is a sneak peak of the new look.
As you can see the look is more professional and more appealing to business to join. I feel that this new design will bring in an older audience and expand the number and type of users. This would solve the skepticism that people, like lawyers, have about creating a Twitter.
I am also a fan of the new organization. Twitter can be all over the place, but with this new design people can search for tweets and users with an easier way to navigate.
I have no doubt that this is the right move for Twitter and this move with lead to an increase in users.
Wow, I totally missed this! As someone going into social media as a career I'm interested to see how this new page will help businesses and the general public.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that Twitter is an effective mean for people in the professional world to communicate with each other? In other words, why is it important for lawyers to be involved on Twitter rather than rely on old-school technologies such as email?
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to see this change! Twitter changed the game for social media and now it's changing it even more!
