Originally receiving a flood of negativity towards a standalone messaging app , compared to one simple Facebook app, users seem to be warming to it. The decision to make it standalone does make a lot of sense, since messaging is a big part of people’s lives nowadays and Facebook even bought the domain messenger.com to launch a version for web browsers last year. At the end of the day, customers are moving towards messaging as their preferred choice of customer service.

By itself, Twitter’s announcement that it would expand its character limit for private messages from 140 characters — the limit applied to tweets — to 10,000 can be interpreted as a simple upgrade to a relatively minor feature. But of course no product rollout occurs in a vacuum, so we must consider this change within the context of other modifications made to the platform, and it turns out Twitter has been pretty busy lately working on its direct messaging capabilities.

When you click the “invite friends” link from your Google+ account, you’ll find a new link that you can send to friends via Instant message or post on the web…or on Facebook perhaps? It wasn’t long ago that Facebook surpassed Google in being the most visited website online. That’s because there are a lot of people who just want to socialize with their friends and not use the Internet like a library. But Google+ could change that.

Did we send the right message? They also like instant messaging, but shy away from organized meetings and phone calls. The Millennials, as should be no surprise, are completely accustomed to social media and text messaging, and rely on them as their main forms of communication. Just because a thought was communicated out loud, does not mean that the message was actually understood. #2: 2: Always ensure your message is clear, and understood as intended.

For the social media writer it can be an onerous task to consistently deliver such effective messages in a conversational style. 7 STEPS TO WRITING EFFECTIVE SOCIAL MEDIA MESSAGES: Define Your Core Audience: Assuming that you are a subject-matter-expert or at least have good understanding of the topic you plan to write about, the first step in the process is to get to know your target audience (customers).
