Airtel | Twitter | India

Indian telco Airtel is encouraging its customers to get more involved in micro-blogging through Twitter and its SMS mobile phone service.

Airtel is launching three more television commercials to reinforce its power of connecting people, just shortly after the launch of a branding campaign by Rediffusion Y&R. “It is often observed that whenever we are alone, there is a gush of thoughts or feelings in our mind which we go through, and we feel happy when we share these feelings with someone whom we know,” said the creative team.

The commercials share the concept of 'share form anywhere’, and look at particular moments that a hitchhiker, guitarist and skydiver desire to share his or her happiness instantaneously. Even at the edge of the world, people can blog about their joy without the complication of finding internet access.

Twitter signed the deal with Bharti Airtel in October to offer a bigger service offering to the mass population of India via SMS. The same service has already launched in the US, Canada, the UK and New Zealand.
