If you use Twitter, you probably know that it offers people a great chance to find all sorts of things. No matter what you want to know, you can locate it there… and you get just the facts because there isn’t room to put anything more than that on Twitter. The 140-character limit is very restrictive, but that’s good news for people who are looking for acquaintances. There are two ways to find them: through a search of their name, or through a search of the kinds of things that they may be involved with. You can do the same thing with businesses by using hashtags to locate what a business does in addition to its name. For example, you can search for Kars 4 Kids, or another charity like United Way or Goodwill Industries.
If you can’t think of the company’s name, search for the kind of charity work they do. That way, you’ll be more likely to locate the right business without spending a lot of time searching. Finding people on Twitter can help you connect with others who have the same kinds of interests as you do, and when you’re involved in charity giving that can allow you to get even more help for the charity of your choice. Tweet about what you’re trying to do, be sure to use good hashtags, and the charity may notice it and retweet what you have to say. That can catapult your Twitter status and get you into a position where you can meet more people – and help more people, too.
