Each week marketers talk about the latest new feature on Facebook and
 how they might use that feature to push their brand forward. We&#8217;re also
 frequently talking about Instagram, Snapchat, and a couple of revolving
 newcomers.
But many marketers are no longer talking about Twitter, or at least 
not as much as they were just two years ago. Lately most mentions of 
Twitter lead to conversations about the company itself and not how 
marketers are actually using it. Everyone wants to share ideas on the 
Twitter&#8217;s challenges, share price, and CEO rather than how they&#8217;re 
telling their own story on Twitter.
&nbsp;
If Twitter&#8217;s not Social Media, what is it? 
 It&#8217;s News
As of last week, <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2016/04/28/twitter-aims-to-boost-its-visibility-by-switching-from-social-networking-to-news-on-the-app-store/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=what-is-twitter-now-4506" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Twitter is listed as a News app in the iTunes store</a> and is no longer categorized as a social media app.
I&#8217;ve always thought of Twitter as a news distribution channel. It 
looks like Twitter and Apple finally agree. The smartest Public 
Relations execs were releasing official news and statements on Twitter 
as far back as 2008.
If your side of the story is not coming up in Twitter searches, it&#8217;s 
just as inexcusable as not being seen on Google search results. Get to 
it!
It&#8217;s a Link Library
Twitter is to articles and blog posts what YouTube is to videos. It&#8217;s
 a vast vault of searchable content. Note, YouTube is also not really 
&#8220;Social&#8221; anymore, unless you count engaging with trolls&#8230; &nbsp;
 It&#8217;s a Customer Service platform
You can complain on your Facebook page all day about Brand X, but 
Brand X will never see it. You can complain on Brand X&#8217;s Facebook page 
all day and perhaps no other customers will see it. Tweet once and 
anyone paying attention will see it. Then the response clock starts 
running!
 It&#8217;s the place to &#8220;Also Share&#8221; your social media posts
Twitter may not be the center stage for your content marketing, but 
it is a main gate. All social platforms must enable one-click Tweeting 
of your article, blog post, update, video, image, pin, story, audio 
clip, or future type of content. Even if you think most of your target 
audience is not active on Twitter, remember the Link Library idea above 
and make your content easy to find in any future Twitter search. &nbsp;
