oh no! a company who doesn't get twitter...

On the flip side of ASOS I've managed to find a company who fails to grasp the concept of Twitter... this company is Nestle.

Reading these tweets could be as interesting and relevant as reading a phone book from front to back. The information posted on here as no personality or tone, and is broad company information. There is nothing engaging on here that could encourage a user to closely follow these Tweets.

Bad tweeting Nestle, Bad.

A company who get's Twitter

I've unfortunately left my first blogging post until the night before my class...

I've managed to find an example of a company who really gets twitter. This company is ASOS.

My friend who is a bit of a Twitter expert actually recommended I check out this. I have and I was pleasantly surprised. Users are able to subscribe to particular elements of the brand which are most useful to them e.g. Menswear, or Kids wear. This is a great option so that users aren't bombarded with information from ASOS that's irrelevant to them.

They're obviously backing up their successful online retail proposition as they've got 36k followers!
