Are you wondering just what is twitter good for? The answer really depends on who you ask.
Some people might say that Twitter is a free service that helps you stay connected in actual time.
I would define Twitter as a micro blogging website that allows you to send out short messages that are called tweets. You are limited to 140 characters in your messages.
Don’t believe the critics and cynics who are having a good time roasting Twitter. They like to think of it as a narcissism-driven site where people wildly shout out trivia about their boring lives hoping that someone is listening.
Yes, there’s a component of that happening. And it is sort of amusing in a sad way.
The real value of this site is not the first thing you see. There are people sharing information and ideas. There are sure to be specialists in almost any field you can think of offering valuable advice and leadership. Who knows if you are creating your own products there are sure to be people who will tell you what they the consumer would like to see included in a product.
Although it is growing very fast with no end in sight there is a small part of it that will send out boring tweet after tweet. The good news is the huge user population makes it exciting to read as you never know just what you will find.
If you’ve believed the critics and you’re not part of Twitter, it’s time to rethink your position. You can become a part of this exciting collection of social networks. And I promise: You won’t be forced to share your lunch stories with anyone. Honest.
One of the best ways to get the most out of Twitter is to stay on top of new tools, techniques, trends and developments.
Generally speaking, the Internet moves quite quickly. When it comes to new “hot” properties like Twitter, the speed and activity multiplies.
This makes it worthwhile to gain an understanding of how the climate is shifting and the ways people are using the system to maximize their return.
