Twitter for Work Groups

By Hubert Hopkins on December 29th, 2009

1. Keep notes – Build your meeting minutes, phone call notes, etc. by tweeting as you go through your day

2. Daily log of work accomplished – Just tweet when you finish a task and everyone is up to date instantly

3. Where is everyone – let it take the place of the big white board with IN/OUT by each person’s name

4. Document why you did something – use it for sharing knowledge and accelerating your group’s growth

5. Polling your network for help on a hard issue – Just tweet out your problem and see who has already solved it before

6. Sharing links of interest as you find them – real time sharing of great information from the web, again accelerating the learning for the group

7. Influence a decision – good old fashion working in your group to get your input on an important decision

8. Share your funny stories – use Twitter to share the funny ups and downs that happen to you during the day, add a little humor to your work day

9. Motivation – send little “motivational tweets” to your work team members urging them on to greatness. A little encouragement to keep spirits up is always helpful

10. Streamline your inboxes – If you used all 9 above, there would be less email and less clutter elsewhere on your desk and desktop For help on grouping your twitter feeds, http://blog.atebits.com/2009/02/twitter-groups/
