*Know of any great stories we missed out on? Do share with us in the comments?
This past week we highlighted some great Twitter business uses with Creative Ways Businesses Use Twitter and the amazing Twitter project, Brain-Twitter. However, there were a bunch of great stories about using Twitter that flew under the radar. Here are our top 5 picks:
A CEO’s Journey Into Twitter
What you might not have read this week is the journey of one CEO’s plight into Twitter. Diane Hessan, CEO of Communispace Corp., gave Forbes the scoop on her journey into Twitter after meeting with one of the Queens of Twitter, Laura Fitton, better known as @pistachio on Twitter. Hessan discusses five different stages that she experienced when she first began to use Twitter:
- Loneliness
- Finding Some Killer Apps
- Learning
- Getting Organized
- Value
Read “Yes, I’m A CEO Who Really Uses Twitter” for a great story that I’m sure many of you can relate to.
Pizza Hut’s Search For A Twitter Intern
Did you hear about Pizza Hut’s search for a Twitter Intern? It seems Twittering is entering the job market this summer because Pizza Hut is in search of a college student with twittering skills that can help them avoid the YouTube fiasco that Dominos pizza had to deal with.
Google Maps on Twitter
If you’ve ever wondered what the folks from Google are up to on Twitter, take a look at their latest announcement about signing up Google Maps for Twitter . Unfortunately, this isn’t a Google Maps integration with Twitter. Instead,
@GoogleMaps will share information on cool uses and product tips for Google Maps, behind-the-scenes musings from Googlers and general goings-on in the mapping world. We’re also going to use Twitter to listen to the things that you want to suggest and say to us.
Twitter Humor
We leave you with something that is bound to tickle a smile out of you. On the Twitter and humor front, comedian Andy Milonakis has created the “Let Me Twitter Dat” rap video. The video plays on people’s tendency to overshare facts about themselves on Twitter. It’s a catchy video and very funny.
