The IR website, those presentations, and even those appearances on television all require that the people you want to communicate with come to you for information.\u00a0 In other words, you have to wait until people come to you to tell them what you need to say.\u00a0 That puts you at a disadvantage when time is of the essence, or when you want to determine the speed at which people know about certain data.<\/p>\n<p>Being proactive does not make Twitter unique.\u00a0 There are numerous forms of communication all of which can be instigated by a business or investor relations department.\u00a0 Easy examples include mail, phone calls, email, newsletters, and so on.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>What makes Twitter unique is that it the only form of proactive communication in which frequent use is not only acceptable but respected.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Consider the standard email message. Send one email full of critically important information to thousands of investors and potential investors and you will quickly be labeled a spammer, regardless of whether people opted in or not.\u00a0 While a single piece of regular postal mail might be accepted or even welcomed, multiple mailings will not only be expensive, but will quickly become regarded as junk mail.\u00a0 And, don&#8217;t even start with phone calls.\u00a0 Demands to be removed from your calling list, name calling, and questions about your motivations will be the least of your worries.<\/p>\n<p>But, with Twitter, things are different.<\/p>\n<p>Start up a corporate Twitter account and then send out &#8220;only&#8221; three tweets a month and watch the complaints roll in.\u00a0 Imagine the different response if you sent out three emails a month to your email list.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/twitterbritishairways.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 484px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 484\/318;border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px\" title=\"twitter-british-airways\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/twitterbritishairways-thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"twitter-british-airways\" width=\"484\" height=\"318\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a> In order to receive any of messages, or tweets, a Twitter user must &#8220;follow&#8221; another Twitter account.\u00a0 That account can be a friend \u2013 real world or online \u2013 or a business or corporation, or anything in between.<\/p>\n<p>Following is a manual process.\u00a0 That means that each and every user who follows your company&#8217;s official corporate Twitter account has declared a willingness to receive the messages you send.\u00a0 This is also not unique to Twitter.<\/p>\n<h4>What Makes Twitter Different \u2013 Unique Power of Communications<\/h4>\n<p>What is unique to Twitter is the complete and total control of <strong>the user <em>receiving <\/em>the communications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In every other situation, except other social messaging platforms, the control over communications ends the moment the user gives another party their contact information.\u00a0 From that moment on, the end user is at the mercy of the third-party to honor their wishes. Whether it&#8217;s phone calls, emails, or postal mail, the minute a user hands over their phone number, email address, mailing address, or whatever other means of receiving communications they have, the recipient has the ability to use that data anyway they see fit, including giving or selling that same information to others, who inherit the same abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, this situation has been widely abused, and users no longer trust that their wishes will be honored in the future, or even that their wishes are being honored right now.<\/p>\n<p>With every additional communication a business or corporation sends, the user grows more confident that the communications being made are too frequent in number and that the sender is no longer respecting their time or privacy.\u00a0 Each additional phone call brings your earnest IR communications closer to being considered no better than telemarketing.\u00a0 Every new email message risks the wrath of spam filters.\u00a0 And, while there are few options to stop regular mail, each envelope that arrives, starting with the very first one, risks earning an unopened trip to the shredder or trash bin.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to prove one&#8217;s good intentions is to respond to the user&#8217;s request to stop communications altogether. A Catch-22 that leaves the company IR group no method by which to both prove their integrity and continue communicating with investors at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Twitter users consciously realize it or not, they have come to realize that there is very little downside in signing up to receive the communications of others by following them.<\/p>\n<p>Following another person does not give that person the ability to transfer their ability to send messages to another party, because knowing a Twitter user&#8217;s account name is of no use.\u00a0 The user must instigate communications via a follow.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, a person being followed has no means of continuing communications with a Twitter user who has stopped following them.\u00a0 No follow-up questionnaires, no surveys, no &#8220;we want you back&#8221; coupons, nothing, nada, zip, zero, zilch.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Twitter makes requesting more information almost too easy.\u00a0 With a single click, a user begins receiving exactly what they asked for, no more, no less.\u00a0 There are no forms to fill out, no checkboxes, no &#8220;Confirm&#8221; button, no pop-up window, no &#8220;special offer&#8221;, nothing but a single mouse-click.\u00a0 It is the same for everyone, whether it&#8217;s multi-national corporations, or your own grandmother.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your mind and turning off that request is just as easy.\u00a0 With a single click, the user can &#8220;unfollow&#8221; anyone, even Grandma.\u00a0 The communications cease immediately and completely.<\/p>\n<h4>What Twitter Is Then, Is Safe Communication With Business and Others<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/twitterfollowbritishairways.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px;
