The next time someone tells you “I don’t get Twitter, it seems kinda stooped to me. What’s it all about?” you will have this as an answer…
Twitter is a short message routing service - messages are limited to a maximum of 140 characters. This length restriction makes “tweets” (as Tweeter messages are called) equivalent to cell phone “texts” but with a difference: text messages are essentially one-to-one, whereas tweets are one-to-many.
So why Twitter? Twittering is ranked as the third largest social network with six million users and fifty-five million monthly visitors (Facebook is number one and My Space number two). Twitness-which involves a few hundred twitterers watching something, such as the Academy Awards show, and tweeting about the show with all sorts of funny remarks about the clothes, etc. It turns something solitary like TV watching into an interactive experience, which is what the young adults of today are use to doing. Breaking News - when a major news event happens, often a Twitterer will be there and share their experience faster than the cops can cordon off the spot.
Twittering is a great communication tool, a great way to broadcast a quick message to friends, co-workers and family.
