微软正式开始使用Twitter
大家都清楚的是,以前微软经常以各种部门/产品/服务的名义出现在Twitter上,不过现在在Twitter上用的则是micorsoft这个帐户。 这个帐户目前由公司通讯团队负责的,由四个人组成。到目前为止,这个账号还只有两个tweets,大概1000个左右关注者。(译者注:到这篇文章翻译完成的时候,其账号上已经有近2400个关注者了) 这个数目应该变化得很快。(译者注:果然如此!)
那它的第一个tweet是什么方面的内容呢? “现在每个人都可以玩游戏,Kodu在Xbox LIVE Marketplace 上有售。http://bit.ly/3wlWKo #microsoft #xboxlive #kodu” 跟其他任何一个号的Twitter账户一样,微软开始自我营销。不过这条tweet可不如Google早在2月份发布的第一条tweet。
也许目前你还没发在微软的Twitter上了解到受欢迎的东西,但谁知道呢?毕竟,竞争对手们也在四处窥探,用Twitter的服务调侃。

Microsoft Starts Officially Tweeting
by MG Siegler on July 1, 2009
It’s Twitter day at Microsoft, apparently. Not only did the software giant announce that it would start adding tweets to its Bing search results, the company actually started officially using Twitter today.

To be clear, Microsoft had a rather large presence on Twitter before through its various departments/products/services, but now it’s using the main /microsoft account to tweet. The account is being run by its corporate communications team, consisting of four people. So far there have been only 2 tweets and the account only has about 1,000 people following it. That should change, fast.
So what was its first tweet? “Anyone can make games now, Kodu is available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace http://bit.ly/3wlWKo #microsoft #xboxlive #kodu” Like any good Twitter user, Microsoft has self-promotion down cold. But that’s not nearly as slick as Google’s first tweet back in February.
There’s probably not much to read into Microsoft’s love-fest with Twitter today, but you never know. After all, rivals have been snooping around, flirting with the service.
