People come to Twitter to discover what’s happening in the world right now, to share information instantly, and to connect with people and businesses around the globe. With hundreds of millions of users and over 500 million Tweets being sent each day, there is a great opportunity for businesses to reach a global audience of new and existing customers.
No matter what type of business you are — from a large retailer to a freelance designer; from a B2B software provider to a mobile app company — you can use Twitter to build meaningful connections with a relevant and engaged audience. These connections can lead to actions across a network of loyal customers for your business.

22. Twitter’s timeline is organized in reverse chronological order, a
delivery system that has not changed since the product was
created eight years ago and one that some early adopters consider
sacred to the core Twitter experience. But this ‘isn’t the most
relevant experience for a user,’ Noto said. Timely tweets can get
buried at the bottom of the feed if the user doesn’t have the app
