Twitter, in my opinion, is an amazing social network; a place where you can connect with people in short 140-character messages. Its community is mostly made up of bloggers and those who spend their lives on every social network known to man.
I signed up for Twitter over a year ago, but didn’t start fully using it until late 2007. When I first joined I was following practically no one, and I only had one or two followers. Once I started following hundreds (over 500) of people, I gained followers in the hundreds. I thank these people for taking the time to follow me back; because it’s these people that motivated me to start using Twitter on a daily, sometimes hourly basis.
Once I started Tweeting more, I realised what a valuable social network this was - it has the potential to be so much more, but I’m happy with Twitter the way it is. Twitter has recently become a communication tool for me - almost replacing IM in some cases. Some people hate it, some love it. Those that hate it are either baffled by the fact that you publish what you’re doing to the rest of the world, or just see Twitter as a time-waster.
Feel free to follow me on Twitter, and I’ll follow you too.
