What is this Twitter thing anyway?
If by now you are still not on Twitter it may because you’re like my dear friend who doesn’t understand what it is.
So let’s start with the basics. Twitter is like a global status update. Think Facebook status + instant messanger + greader headlines and much more. It’s a great resource for posting random info about your day, to send interesting links to friends or just to stalk a celebrity or two, and much much more. The best part is it’s limited to 140 characters so you can limit your information overload – well unless you become a Twitter Elite with 14K followers.
Dosh Dosh has a great description:
Twitter gives you a fragmented experience of opinions, events, news, ideas and feedback largely because its structured to accommodate non-contextual usability: You can easily follow thousands of users and listen in and enter into conversations conducted among multiple users at any point. And this is usually the case.
