BOTH are vitally important to understanding things about the world around us. If you’re still wondering why you use Twitter, yet another great way to use it is to ask your community questions and seek advice.

Here, I asked Twitter whether it mattered that the brands they loved used social media or not. Here are some answers:

twitter1

twitter2

See? Easy as that, I got about 60 answers.

What would YOU ask Twitter?

For me, it already is. So, as applications come available that might be useful for one’s day to day, I like to peek at them and see the state of things.

One such application is Oprius. If you are a solo practitioner, or work in a small organization, and need to figure out how to build a sales/marketing practice, dOprius might be the right scale marketing campaign platform for you. It does a variety of things in a very integrated fashion, including letting you build call scripts for folks who have to hit the phones.

My favorite part of the application is contained in the graphic above, the “Phone Assistant.” Upon bringing up someone’s contact, there are some other fields for more information, a lot of ways to capture other data about the conversation.

The company is working towards engaging in conversations with their prospective community, so if you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments.
