As a regular blog poster at the ICAEW I would be interested to know how many accountants, bookkeeper, financial and taxation professional actively use twitter.
So I thought the best way to find out is for us to hold ..
The Accountants Terrific Tweet Up
So join us as the Accountants Terrific Tweet Up and tell us ....
Your Twitter Name
Your background - e.g. are you a member of a professional bodies, QBEs, training etc
What country you are from?
How often do you use twitter?
What success have you achieved with it?
Details of any twitter marketing campaigns thatyou are currently undertaking tell us about them and we can tweet about it.
Hi Tony the hash tag is #. It can be used to aid searching in respect of a particular subject. For example, a couple of weeks ago, the hash tag #taxreturn was quite common.
I don't use twitter for any bookkeeping purposes as some of the stuff I post is a bit barking mad - especially photographs and videos. It can be funny looking to see what's trending. For instance I saw Ashley Cole trending and thought "what's he been up to now" but for a change it was for a good reason he was trending. The news gets out a lot faster on twitter. I read about Gary Moore's death and for several hours refused to believe it as it wasn't being reported on mainstream news websites.
It can also give a shock when you see something like "RIP Neil Young" and you think it is the musician only to later find out it is a footballer. You can also tell which personalities are on tv. I'll bet you in an hours time Jacqui Smith will be trending in the UK.
EDIT : I was right. about JS trending. Anyone want to know this Saturday's lottery numbers?
