Web 2.0, the social thang, etc. are catching on tremendously well, and it's truly great for the times we live in and anyone who works with current information in the online broadcasting platforms. Especially running a website that requires marketing to readers new and current alike. Getting in on this action is so helpful to nearly any business today, and now some social big media is even helping the users do just that.
Right now the big event in the fashion world and style-blogosphere is obviously fashion week. And the best social tool for new information - Twitter! Even if just for fun we should all try out following those Tweeting about the events and even live Tweeting (often from the newest phones - ahh gimme an iPhone please, thank you) from the rows at fashion shows, themselves (if you can stand the jealousy from your home computer).
Glam.com has a section devoted to live Tweeting (and Flickr posting) from Fashion Week. It can introduce you to a lot of people to follow or just be the entire way you "follow" the events or messages, themselves. Another service to use is usually for general topics on Twitter, but especially any hot current event - Twitter's own search (try the search for nyfw). With this you can more easily follow conversations, users ("Twits") and even search for related keywords to capture users you might have missed. (TIP: if you don't use spaces you'll better catch the topics specially formatted to get found. The special tag for New York Fashion Week is #NYFW.)
And when you, yourself, Twitter about it, make sure to include that "code" in your tweet message somewhere. Bonus Tip: If you auto publish your blog entries to your Twitter, include the code at the end of your blog subjects (or beginning of the entry text if your auto-posting service uses this [and your subject is short].) Then you can get broadcasted yourself, and hopefully get a little publicity, maybe some "@" replies and hopefully some Twitter followers. Yes, it's all good - unless you can't stand the addiction with which you could afflict yourself.
To sum up here are just a few of my most suggested Twits to follow (at least right now): click to continue
