Should I use Twitter

By Kenneth Olenderson

Twitter is a website that allows you to interact with different people around the globe. Twitter is like my space but instead of talking to one person youre talking to everyone you have in your followings category. Twitter is a place where you can meet new people and learn new things. Twitter is kind of like blogging in a way.

Twitter was originally supposed to be a site that allows you to update your family and friends, but after it took off there was no stopping it. Twitter grew into a micro-blogging network that allowed bloggers to interact on two different levels. One on the bloggers network and the second on twitter. Twitter allows you to create a connection between your blog site and Twitter.

When twitter first came out, the thought of blogging 140 characters was a little hard to grasp. After a while people got use to blogging and the site grew to an astonishing popularity. Twitter later became known by CNN, American Idol, and several other shows.

When twitter started to get popular ever body from politicians to radio hosts started to use twitter as a type of publicity tool. People like Oprah and the president himself opened a twitter account and it didnt stop there. Politician, actors and several other people began to use twitter as a publicity tool.

Twitter is easy to start, all you do is go to the web site and click sign up. Information like your email address and your name will be asked and if you would like you can optionally put in your cell phone information.

After you have put in your information you may begin to search new friends or other people that have a similar interest as you. If you put in your cell phone information you will get a txt any time someone tweets you. Tweeting is another term for instant messaging or texting.

When you start to get followers try and interact with them as often as possible because no one likes a quite owl. Be sure to only talk about interesting topics such as great shows and music because if you tell them something like what you ate for lunch they may count you as uninteresting and they may even unfollow you.
