So here’s a question! Do you twitter? What? No! This is not a sick joke and I swear it’s not a bad word:) Twitter, in a nutshell, is a social media revolution. Why? Well, because it focuses on the most prime objectives of Social Media. “Staying in touch”!
Twitter tells everyone what you are doing right now! Whether you’re blogging or washing your car, you can easily notify twitter of what you are doing and it will notify all the friends that choose to follow you on twitter. No, you don’t have to have your laptop tied to your naked back while washing the car, you can simply send a text message to twitter to update your status!
Once you register at twitter(oh! by the way, it’s 100% FREE), you can invite your friends on to it. And once they register themselves, you can choose to ‘follow’ them.
Well, basically, it’s all that twitter is. By following a person, you can get updates 24 hrs a day on what they are up to. And they offer updates through their website – twitter.com, through text messages – this is absolutely free and send you a text message whenever your friends post up, and of course, through Instant Messengers. (I don’t know up to what capacity twitter supports Instant Messengers but it sure come hand on my Google Talk!)
Did you not always want all of your friends to know that you have posted that awesome blog post right at the moment you posted it? Well, twitter makes it possible! When your friends follow you on Twitter, they get an instant IM message/text message saying you have posted! And adding to the positivity, it even gives out a ‘tinyurl’ URL to your post, so they don’t receive that annoyingly super-long permalink that you created to feed the Search Engine Spider!
And moreover, you can easily follow all your favorite bloggers on the blog-o-sphere(in case if you were wondering, most of them are already there!), and instantly know what they are up to!
Could it get any better than that? Well, listen to this! You can install their facebook application, and it it gives you the option of updating your facebook automatically when you twitter! That’s right. Feeling the shame of not updating you facebook status for the past decade? One word – Twitter!
Catch the Twittering wave! I tried it out for the past few weeks and it had been nothing less than awesome. You can even create badges like this to put in your blog:
Isn’t twitter just wonderful…
Twitter is all that you say, plus more. Among others I use twitter to “follow” World news. The breaking news is brought to your own mobile without any subscription!!! Granted the Google news feed is a little messed up but it’s Goooood for me who barely has time to read the newspaper but wanting to know what Obama had for dinner yesterday!
Of course! It’s a super life/time saver!! I wasn’t aware of that until you told me, so thanks Doctor:)
Appreciate the comment.
