Hey All,

I know that it’s been a while since I last posted so I wanted to get something up here. To that end, I was wondering what I could talk about that would be influential and informative. The logical conclusion of course was Twitter, that mysterious piece of social communication software that everyone is talking about. In this post I will simply outline what twitter is, what it does, and why you would use it. So, without further ado lets get into the topic of Twitter.

So what is twitter?

I realize that I could spend a good deal of time explaining what twitter is but I believe that twitter sums it up nicely on their front page on Twitter.com where they say “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?”. So twitter is simply a system useful for conveying information (in 140 characters or less) about what’s going on to those around you (known on twitter as your followers).The system also can utilize text messaging from your cell phone to allow you to post on the go.

Who twitters?

To put it simply, anyone can twitter. there are famous people who twitter, companies who twitter, and random Joes such as myself who all add their thoughts and comments to the web via the twittersphere.

So Why Twitter?

To sum it all up twitter is a great source for community and answers. It plugs you in to a large pool of other people from a wide variety of sources some with something interesting to say (others without) allowing for networking and communication with others. Twitter can also be used to update your Facebook status and has a lot of other websites that connect with it to expand their functionality. All in all, Twitter allows for the user to access useful information and ignore the stuff that they do not care about on the web.

Well I hope you found that information helpful.

god Bless,
Josh
