What is Twitter? Twitter Defined
The phenomenon known as Twitter is used for fun and business. There are still some who just don’t get it, What is Twitter? What is all Of the Hype? What’s the Big Deal? The comment most often heard about Twitter is, I don’t get it!
Twitter is more than just a website with a funny name. Twitter is a social website that allows you to post “mini-blogs” that lets everyone answer the question, what you are doing? Twitter is rapidly becoming an instant news resource, as well as, a great place to market and brand your company. But, let’s not forget that Twitter is simply used as a fun social networking community.
Twitter allows its users to answer the question, What are you doing in 140 characters or less. You can use it to promote your sales, promotions, deals, seminars, links, and more. If used correctly, Twitter can become the most important driving force behind the marketing of your company, and help you boost your profits more than you could ever imagine.
Anyone can use Twitter, but using Twitter for business is a whole different arena. Businesses can benefit by using Twitter to connect with their customers, as well as, find new customers. Businesses can also gauge the success of their company, services, and products by listening to what Twitter users have to say about their company.
Twitter has been used as a prompt news source, as we saw with the 2009 plane crash into the Hudson. Twitter users who survived the crash reported details of the crash before news crew could even get out of the news station. Twitter even saved the life of a U.S. citizen held captive in a foreign country. The Tweet heard round the world alerted U.S. officials about the situation.
Twitter can also be used to drive traffic to your websites and blogs. Posting links to your websites and blogs on Twitter can reach millions of users on the social network, driving massive amounts of traffic to your place of interest.
As you can see, Twitter can be used for both business and fun. Some large corporations are starting to realize the importance of the micro blogging website and utilizing the network to grow their companies. Twitter is not all about hype, but it is truly a useful tool that if used correctly can be very beneficial.

I came to Transcorp Hilton for the 4th Business Law Conference of the Nigerian Bar Associations’ Section on Business Law full of expectations; secure in the knowledge that I would get the opportunity to network in a big way and also learn new ways of making the marriage between Law and Technology more seamless and less stressful. The first surprise I got was at the Sponsored stands. There were at least two Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers with their stands, ready to do business. That should not be shocking as SaaS seems to be the new facebook. However, this is Nigeria, so my shock may be excused. I do believe though, that the timing is more than just coincidence as I had been looking into SaaS the week before. Let me share some of my findings with you.
Webopedia defines SaaS as a delivery method that provides access to software and its functions remotely as a Web-based service. SaaS allows organizations to access business functionality at a cost typically less than paying for licensed software since SaaS pricing is based on a monthly fee. In simple English, SaaS is a complete office. Online. A partnership between technology and management. As a Law Office, it provides everything from Case Management, to File Storage and even litigation support. SaaS is the lawyer’s IT nirvana. The beauty of this service is that no additional hardware is needed, software licensing fees are more or less eliminated and it is much cheaper than paying an in-house IT person or firm.
There are two forms of SaaS; it may either be in the form of software which is installed in your computer or software hosted on the internet, in which case you have a freer hard drive.
As magnificent as SaaS sounds, it has been greeted with a lot of suspicion and reservation. This is not entirely unfounded. We are talking about Law, one of the world’s most (if not the world’s most) conservative professions; one in which the principle of client confidentiality is sacrosanct. The lawyer is the custodian of the client’s secrets. The internet was not created with security of information in mind; what happens if a client’s file is hacked? These are questions that are still being answered.
Nevertheless, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages as the question of breach of client confidentiality is still that of supposition. If you are not comfortable with SaaS on the internet like the services offered by NetDocuments.Com, your practise might want to explore SaaS installed in your computer. It is a hassle free, more organized and environmentally friendly way of practising the legal profession.
