Twitter is one of the fastest-growing social networks available today for both personal and business use.

There are more than 1.5 Twitter accounts registered each second, totaling more than 135,000 each day.

Additionally, there are more than 24,000 searches completed on Twitter each second, equaling more than 2.1 billion every day.
Using Twitter Properly
Using Twitter properly requires the ability to understand and utilize “hashtags” any time you are making a post. A hash tag includes the “#” symbol before any word or phrase that you want to highlight in your posts. If you have a crush on someone on a Monday, using the hash tag “#ManCrushMonday” has the potential reach of more than 5.5 million users altogether within a matter of seconds. Additionally, “#tt” and “#transformationtuesday” has a reach of more than 8 million users, for individuals who want to share progress pictures to their online followers.
