Do you use Twitter? Will you use Twitter?
The amount of twitter users seems to have exploded. Fueled through partnership, advertisement and the media;
more and more people are following their friends, family and celebrites on twitter.
Essantially, Twitter users "tweet". They update thier online status and let anyone thats interested know whats currently happening.
The majority of tweets are uploaded to the web via SMS (text messaging) allowing users to be on the go while they share this content.
To be honest im not surprised how popular its become. Who wouldn't want to get live updates about Britney Spears straight from the source?
Actually, Twittering is also known as a form of micro-blogging. If I were using Twitter instead of Blogspot I could update this blog using my phone anytime. Or
what about the possiblity to update the whole family about dinner plans in one quick text?
Twitter claims to be a "modern antidote to information overload". - Do you agree?
Im not going to give a critique on this topic until I introduce other social phenomenon that ive noticed. This will be done in future posts.Id like to critique them all once ive introduced and posted examples of each of them. For now, heres a very popular youtube video that explains the Twitter concept very well:
Look forward to more posts expanding on our analysis of Internet Social Phenomenon.
