Here at JSA, we’ve steadily been adding to our growing list of followers on Twitter. In today’s blog post, I’d like to try something different and include some sample news items from a few of those that we follow. So without further ado, here’s the latest buzz on Twitter:

 Although Jordan-Sitter Associates has previously utilized Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to interact with potential candidates and clients; the message of how powerful these tools can be was highlighted.  Beyond networking, the conference reinforced how  these tools can help keep your business image in front of customers. 

 Upon returning to our office in Texas, we began to implement some additional ideas using these tools to enhance our customer support and service.  Of course, having some younger (25 and 30 something) staff members does help us more readily turn these ideas into actions.

 The conference was well attended and offered updates on the current economic situation worldwide.  We are looking forward to attending next year’s conference scheduled to be held in our beautiful home town of San Antonio.
