Social Media Tips – What on Earth is Twitter?
One has heard the word “twitter”, especially in conjunction with the chirping of birds, but people twittering on Twitter is a new idea for a majority of people.
You may have seen many ads on TV, requesting you to “Tweet Us.” And you might be afraid of asking people about “what are these guys talking about, tweet us,’ because you do not want to be labeled totally “uncool.” I was also under the assumption that if I asked anybody what twittering and getting to know more about the social media was all about, I would be laughed at or given a stare of, “man, get a life.” The moment I got over the fear of this ridicule, I managed to get some answers. And here are the answers that you want to know, about Twitter.
A website like Twitter allows you to do micro-blogging. Micro blogging can be considered to be blogging in its mini form. You are going to text small amounts of content, and the moment they go online, they can be reviewed by everybody or by people who belong to just one particular social group.
You can either follow or be a friend of Tweeple (Twitter + people!) through the twitter interface. This allows you to Receive Tweets, twits or even Twitters, call these messages with whatever name you prefer. Following or adding a friend to your network is just as if you have added a friend on MSN or Facebook.
Why is Twitter getting to be so popular, you may ask. Well, people who share similar dislikes and likes can get to know exactly what you are on about. You are going to express your sentiments in less than 140 characters. Self-expression gone micromini is the name of the game. So from single comments to rants and from boring descriptions of day-to-day activities to talking about newsworthy items and events, you can twit about almost anything.
Twitter has many uses. Ask advice, talk about a cause, give somebody some help, promote your services and products, and even promote the awareness of some major event. All you need to do is twitter on Twitter in small emotional bursts. So when are we going to see you on Twitter?
