Why are so many people using Twitter? Why would more 3 million people visit this website? Why are so many technology companies taking advantage of it?
This is really two questions: First, What is Twitter? And second, how do people use it? Here's a short list of the top benefits of using Twitter.
These updates or tweets known as Twitter, provides the users the benefits to the users for sharing the messages,status updates, what they are doing to anyone who has decided to follow each tweet and really connect with the people who follow them. The members can get these updates through the twitter website, an RSS feed, text message, email, numerous applications including other blogging, social media websites and more.
Twitter: What's the Big Attraction? (or as my Sig-O says, "Why on earth would total strangers care what you're up to?")
Networking: A great way to meet people. If you are in a business with a niche market, you can discover new people that have similar interests to yours.
Marketing: It's not just about big companies like Dell, Comcast, etc. It's about connecting with your audience and having a real presence on Twitter. I find that I get business by just having that more personal face to my company on Twitter, and engaging the community.
Stream of Information: I seem to be getting breaking news and information on Twitter before most news sources. A great example was when the last earthquake hit the Bay Area. It was all over Twitter a good 10 minutes before CNN had it as breaking news.
It's great! People from all over the planet use Twitter. You can always find someone who shares your interests and wants to chat.
If you haven't checked out Twitter you should absolutely take a look. It's a very simple, straightforward site. There are many ways to "cross post" which means typing a single status message and have it show up in other social networking sites (not to mention any names).
