Twitter more than microbloging tool
On receiving my invitation to join twitter, some of my friends asked me what the hell is twitter and I think the most simple answer to this question is that twitter is a micro blogging web app, something like a blog but with limited sized post, without images and videos. It is a new way to communicate with the world by updating them with what you are up to….
But twitter can be used more than just a way of updating others about what you are doing, it is more than announce on the internet about what you had in dinner or what TV show you are watching.. I’m not that addicted to blogging and initially I found it not very useful for me because I dont share ever second of my private life on the Internet and I dont have exciting things everyday to announce or update on twitter.But there is something about twitter which makes it different from other similar applications.
One of the main reasons why twitter is gaining so much popularity is that it is accessible via web(twitter website and third-party applications) , Instant messaging and sms. You can send or receive updates via IM notifications or SMS on your mobile. So for someone like me who wont have updates everyday and dont want to login everytime to twitter website to check for any new tweets (twitter updates),twitter can send an sms or IM to keep me posted. So when your friends change their mobile number or new version of your favorite application is released, you directly get a notified.
This easy accessibility can be further exploited …more coming soon .
