I’m getting bored of the music in my itunes, so put out a message on twitter to see if anyone had any recommendations for new music.
Within a matter of minutes, I had 2 new followers, and an @ reply from a band called Spicy Jane telling me to give them a listen.
Now, i’ll admit, I’m not a Twitter expert, I literally will use it to update people on my interesting life. I only learnt what RT meant last night. I’m aware that there are mental Twitter search engines, but, aside from the job searches, do they really serve a purpose?! Well, apparently I’ve been put in my place! I would have never expected Twitter to be a place to promote a band, but apparently it can work!
The fact that there are people watching you, that aren’t even followers left me wondering. Wonder what else I can get from this?! I’m looking for a graduate job. I’m following a couple of job scouts, but nothing has caught my eye as the levels are too high for me. Wonder if I could twit my way into a new job? Might even start a little test to see.
Any other ideas of what I can do?
As for Spicy Jane, I gave them a listen, and they’re alright, certainly were new to me. Not replacing anyone in my itunes just yet though.
Ah the power of Twitter! Spicy Jane are obviously very savvy, not only are they listening, but as a result are now creating word of mouth online!
Jobs via Twitter are becoming more and more common – Jed got his job at Wolfstar and made most of his online friends through Twitter and facebook. He’s written about it before, have a nosey for some inspiration! http://rock-star-pr.com/im-in-the-wolfstar-pack/
