Until a few months ago I couldn't have cared less about Twitter. I didn't understand what the hype was and figured it would fade away. HAHA yeah right! I decided to look into it (for career purposes of course ha) and I'm not going to lie... I'm pretty addicted! It's so much more than telling people where you are and what you're doing. I use it personally to keep up with the latest news, weather, events, causes that I care about, and get inspirational messages from my favorite people like Beth Moore, Max Lucado, and Rick Warren. Using Twitter for your business takes it to the next level though.
No matter what your career is, it's important to always be informed of the latest trends, research, and changes in your line of work. For Inheritance it is crucial that we are informed of changes in what we do. We need to know the latest changes in the world of Adoption so that we can provide the best services possible. Think about technology and social media 4 years ago. Now think about how far its come to today. Now think about the possibilities of what it will be like in 4 more years. Twitter is changing the way non-profits and businesses run.
What we can do with Twitter:
- Learn the latest research in adoption. In the past research has been out of date by the time it gets to everyone it needs to go to. With Twitter you can receive research instantly! No more searching and searching for the latest. The latest IS on Twitter.
- Be informed of pending legislation in the House or Senate the day it happens.
- See what other agencies are doing and see if the trends we are seeing are what others are seeing as well.
- Hear what adoption professionals, adoptive parents, birth parents, adoptees, lawyers, and others close to the adoption community are saying/thinking.
- Connect with professionals all over the WORLD and get our name and message out.
