Dancehall.Mobi special update – Twitter is a free social messaging utility for staying connected in real-time. It allows users to send and read other users’ updates that are known as ‘tweets’.

In a word, Twitter has taken the world by STORM. Numerous international artistes including P. Diddy (437,276 followers as at April 9, 2009) and Soulja Boy (240,861 followers as at April 9, 2009) are already using it with good effect to build their personal brands and connect with fans all over the world.

2. Big it up – it’s another way to promote yourself … upcoming shows, new album in the works, new video released etc. Get the word out. More
