You Can Communicate On Twitter With Victory State Bank

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Social media has become an important marketing vehicle for many businesses.

One particular type of social media tool is known as “microblogging.”

Victory State Bank uses microblogging as a means of discussing financial issues of importance to business owners and consumers.

The federal Web site HowTo.gov explains it this way:

As its name suggests, microblogging is writing extremely short blog posts, kind of like text messages. Twitter is currently the most popular microblog service and lets users post entries up to 140 characters long. Users can read these messages online or have them sent as a text message to a cell phone or other mobile device. More specific information about Twitter is available on the Twitter Best Practices page.

The popular social networking websites Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn also have a microblogging feature, called "status update."

Microblogging is more than just random "short bursts of text," it's better characterized as short conversations where you listen to and share ideas.

Once you get going with a set of people you follow and people who follow you, it's a never-ending conversation you can dip into when you want. The people you talk to can serve as a filter for the torrent of information online, giving you links to check out, sharing new ways of thinking, and offering responses to the questions you ask.

Victory State Bank may be found on Twitter as: @VictoryStBank.
