Getting to know Twitter

What are you doing? Getting to know Twitter

Twitter is a micro-blogging platform that allows you to share bit size information about your life with your friends, co-workers, or loved ones via the internet.

This sharing of information happens in between emails, blogs, or text messages. Twitter can hook you up with your contacts from anywhere in the world. Each “twit” which is less than 140-word updates gives you an idea of how your friend loves this food or how your relative is transforming his business idea into reality.

Twitter is pretty much like a blog though the entries are a lot shorter. You can sign up for free. It works very simple and you can post updates using the Twitter website, your mobile phone, a software plug-in for your internet browser, or via instant messaging.

It is totally fascinating how small things can be so interesting. People of all ages and businesses have created their presence online through Twitter. It is undoubtedly a social media phenomenon with millions of members twitting to remain connected with each other.

Twitter is a simple tool to help you share your world with those people who follow you and peek into what other people are doing. Twitter brings you closer to people and it starts with the question, “What are you doing?”
