Twitter is one of those services that I still don't quite "get".
- You post little updates in 147 characters or less and follow other peoples updates, or they follow you.
- You can even choose to follow the updates of people that don't follow you too - so if Bill Gates used Twitter - you could get his updates!
- Twitter asks you "What are you doing?" and you answer the question.
I just came across this little video that does a good job of explaining what Twitter is and what the goal of the service is.
Its quite helpful in describing what it is supposed to be used for and has opened my eyes to it a little - but really, Twitter is much more than what is shown in the video. It can also be used as a tool to network with like minded people and gather information, comment and up to date news about almost any subject. I am starting to use this more at the moment than other stuff and its quite addictive. Especially as you can get to it from your mobile phone, your PC and other internet enabled mobile devices.
If you give it a go, then Follow Me On Twitter too!
