[Praise!]- Ordering my cable via Twitter

Posted on July 19, 2010 in Social Media in Wichita Kansas by JuggleMedia

In an age where social media is FINALLY starting to catch on, I find it extremely important to praise those local businesses that are “doing it right” via their social channels. Today, Cox Communications and their team of tweets happen to be on my list of awesome local businesses in Wichita, Kansas who are using social media effectively.

What happened? It’s simple. I’m in the process of ordering my cable and internet at my next house all through Twitter and email. No store. No lines. No Gas. No PROBLEMS!

I give the Cox Communications Twitter Team of @Cox_Will, @Cox_Jessica and @Cox_Katie props for all their hard work and persistence in a town that is slow to adapt to these new technologies. Good work. Keep it up.

At JuggleMedia, we work with several businesses within Wichita, Kansas to understand Twitter. Remember when email was new? Welcome Twitter, a web-based text service designed at sending short-burst communication. Using Cox Communications as an example, think of Twitter as the physical cable in the ground. On one end, there’s Cox Communications, a service that brings that cable to your house and allows you to see television, internet and phone service. On the other side there’s NBC, CBS, ABC and 14,000+ other content producers pushing out information to people. Twitter is the common pipe that gets that information places. On one end there are mobile phones, internet-based applications and programs that allow people to put information into the pipeline and using that “Twitter” language, connect to other phones, applications and programs. The cool thing is now EVERYBODY is a content producer, not just the big networks!

If you need more help understanding Twitter, just give us a call at 316-747-9266. At JuggleMedia we help you understand these social media technologies. We’re right here in Wichita so we can actually meet you, shake your hand and help you use these tools to communicate with people. We help you get past “Getting on Twitter” and get you and your business to communicate “with Twitter” to get more sales.

We think its pretty cool stuff. Especially if we get to avoid the lines.

Thanks Cox.
