Albeit it a few years too late (4 to be exact), I have recently discovered the joys of using Twitter and ‘Tweeting’. It is such a good way of keeping abreast of what is going on around the world, to find out about all the latest events, the latest trends, and also to read amusing titbits from celebrities to Mummy bloggers. It is a great social media tool which is being utilized more and more by businesses as a platform to keep people updated on products and events. You can also just chat to fans.
Whilst I don’t really understand people who are so addicted they tweet good night to their followers and inform us when they are having a cup of tea, I do like to see what affects people, what opinions are flying round that day, how Twitter can influence your purchasing decisions, and just how quickly news in disseminated… as soon a something happens it will be on Twitter.
The phenomenon of writing a sentence of only140 characters to create something witty and interesting, or boring and factual, is still keeping people going 4 years after Twitter was launched. I wouldn’t like to speculate on how long Twitter will last, but I can say that for the time being, I for one am hooked – and now I’m off for a cup of tea!
