Hi every one! I will write a small post about Twitter. I think it’s great!
Twitter was founded in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey. Twitter is called the SMS of the internet and not without reason. You can send 140 character messages, known as a tweet to the ones you follow and the ones that follow you. Great for getting updates in real time on what you like such as bands, celebrities and business. Twitter is quite popular and has 200million users worldwide.
Twitter works on the basis that you have followers or follow others, Twitter is a more user friendly version of the Facebook status update or the similar that other community’s online offer. The trick to Twitter is how to use it for a purpose. Bands and celebrities can promote events, work, hold competitions even invite to concerts and clubs.
It’s super easy to start using twitter. It takes only a few minutes setting up, and then you have to follow five people. After that you can edit your profile and upload a picture of yourself and tell in 160 characters a little about yourself. Twitter allows you to follow based on interests and gives you recommendations on who/what to follow.
As you can see it’s a rather nifty little thing. If you have a smartphone don’t forget to have a twitter app! If you decide to use twitter check it out and explore all the functions and make sure to learn how to use it the best.
There is however the limit of 140 characters so be precise and shorten URL’s with Bitly or Tinyurl. It’s just like a text message, don’t waste space!
Thanks for the attention!
