[This post is part of the ongoing series The Complete How To Guide for Twitter Marketing]

In 2010 Twitter reached 50 million tweets per day, which is definitely nothing to sneeze at. No matter what you think about Twitter, there had to be at least one useful tweet in there somewhere, right?
Twitter has become the true heartbeat of the Internet. It is constantly transforming itself to reflect the current trends and events that are taking place in the world around us. We have seen disasters strike, revolutions begin, and celebrities crumble right before our eyes. It is an engaging tool that has won the hearts and minds of millions, and why shouldn’t it?
Misconceptions
Twitter is often passed off with a puff of air in marketing conversations. Often dubbed a waste of time and commonly considered the best place to report what you’ve had for breakfast. While it may be all of those things, it is also a revolutionizing communications channel that has made a significant impact on our world and our business – and yes, it is an essential part of your online marketing arsenal.
