Keeping Members Up-to-DateWhile many websites today offer a news or announcements page, it still requires the Chamber executive or webmaster to log in to the website and update the information. Chamber Nation customers know this as the news broadcaster and is accessed through the main management screen.
Never-the-less, it is much more time consuming then sending a text message to your own twitter account or accessing twitter directly via your cell phone.
The iPhone offers several twitter applications that allow you to even include photos, maps and more with each tweet you make. This added functionality helps your tweets ('twitters") really come alive. For instance lets say you go out to a new member business to welcome them as a new member. By using your iPhone you can take a photo and immediately send a tweet announcing this new member and even include their picture!
Another use is to have a trusted person monitor a city hall meeting and tweet live about what is going on. You could even rally people to come down to the meeting and fight for the Chamber cause... this works especially well when your folowers of your Chamber Twitters have activated the text messaging to send them instant updates from the Chamber.
With twitter a whole new way of comunication with your members and the community is possible.
