<p><strong>Top Five Tips for Twitter</strong></p>
<ul>
<ol>
1. In today&#8217;s world of work it&#8217;s: &#8220;So what? Make me care. Do it fast!&#8221;</ol>
<ol>
<p>2. Practice conveying your branded value, Twitter-style. If you can&#8217;t fit your key messages into 140 characters each, you risk &#8220;So what? Who cares?&#8221;</ol>
<ol>
<p>3. If you&#8217;re a job seeker, use a web address in your Twitter profile that points to more information: your blog, TwitRes, Visual CV, LinkedIn profile, and more. </ol>
<ol>
<p>4. Remember that a branded value proposition must be infused into Twitter and all career communication, especially in this Web 2.0+ world.</ol>
<ol>
<p>5. Use Twitter&#8217;s list feature and other Twitter-friendly apps to control your time. Remember, Twitter can truly be useful in just 15 minutes a day!</ol>

I am an eternal optimist (see <a href=" http://williamarruda.typepad.com/files/william_arruda-360reachreport.pdf">my 360Reach brand assessment results</a>), and I love how positive this commercial is. It features the product (Khakis and other Gap clothing) while being entertaining and uplifting.</p>
