Here’s A Quick Way To Send Restaurant Tweets Using Your Mobile Phone Or Blackberry

2009 was a good year for Twitter. It was the year when Twitter finally took off and got the attention of many businesses owners, including restaurant operators. A couple of months later, advertising and marketing your restaurant on Twitter have become essential for any aspiring restaurant owner looking to make a good business.

Thing is, I’ve been receiving calls from my friends saying how difficult it is to use Twitter. They tweet on the move using their mobile phone or Blackberries. I’ll tell right now, you’re really going to have a hard time tweeting if you’re going to do it like that.

Enter TwitterBerry and TweetDeck.

TwitterBerry
TwitterBerry is exactly what its name suggests – Twitter on your Blackberry. But the thing about TwitterBerry is that it makes tweeting extremely easy (as if it weren’t easy enough).

First you need to download the application on your Blackberry. Once downloaded, you’ll be greeted with a simpler interface compared to the usual one on your desktop. Everything is pretty much self-explanatory from here. If you’re using a Blackberry to tweet your restaurant, why not give TwitterBerry a try.

TweetDeck
Do you normally see the message, “about 1 hour ago from TweetDeck” underneath your friend’s tweets? That’s it – TweetDeck. TweetDeck allows you to send tweets faster and more efficiently using your mobile phone.

TweetDeck has a default white font on black background theme, but I think other themes are available online. Unlike regular Twitter, TweetDeck lets you organize your followers under different groups—friends, staff, patrons, partners, etc.—and view them in separate columns. This makes it much easier to browse what group is doing what, and to send tweets to specific groups.

If you’re always on the move and you need to send out a message to your restaurant patrons—special offers, a new event—then TweetDeck is no doubt your best friend.
