What Is Twitter?
What is Twitter? Well, where have you been.. LOL? Twitter would have to be
the fastest growing site on the web today. It is taking the internet by storm
and there are around 10,000 new users per day signing up to participate in
this internet revolution.
Twitter is best described as a micro blogging platform. You are limited to 140
characters each time you do an update, which initially, may seem a small
amount. However, as you become more experienced, it's just amazing what
you can fit into 140 characters.
That said, Twitter is much, much more than that. It is like one huge global
chat room, but then again, it doesn't have to be. It all depends on how many
people you follow on Twitter. If it's in the thousands, then your Tweetstream
will be running fast and furious with everything that's coming in. If you are
only following a few hundred, or even less, then things are much easier to
keep up with.
Twitter is also a great way to meet new people online, particularly those with
similar interests to you. I will show you how to do this more as we progress
thorugh this report.
