Twitter Explained

Twitter What?Twitter is a status update service and an instantaneous chat tool.  According to Twitter:

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

I use my Blackberry and send a text message stating what I am doing to Twitter.  Twitter posts it on my Twitter page and then a great little plugin created by Alex King called Twitter Tools takes my “Tweet” (the status updates I send to Twitter) and automatically loads it onto my Blog as a post.  So…even if you’re not a part of the “Twitterverse” you can still find out what I’m up to.

I like Twitter for many reasons:

  1. It’s fun!
  2. As soon as you begin to “follow” other people (you receive their Tweets/updates), you feel instantly popular.
  3. Information posted is often cutting edge or just plain interesting
  4. One way of getting Blog updates from your favorite Twitterers
  5. It’s a way of bringing readers to my Blog
  6. It’s a great way to search for and network with people who have similar interests and/or locations
