Twitter

I've been hearing about Twitter for a couple of years now, but it never really sparked any interest in me.  I thought it was, just as one of the articles said, people updating about what they were eating for breakfast and other nonsense like that.  However, after reading the articles and watching the videos about its advantages, I see them clearly now.  Twitter is really a great way to get different messages across to everybody all at once. It isn't like the news where they feed one message to one audience, and that's the end of the discussion.  Twitter allows a functioning discussion to take place. A discussion that evolves and changes and feeds various information to everyone who chooses to listen.

How incredible that Twitter may have saved some lives in Haiti, or informed family members about the safety of their loved ones after the earthquake hit. I found it astonishing that people's comments on Twitter after the earthquake in China was how Chinese officials actually found out about the earthquake. And these comments were up before the U.S. Geological Survey even registered it!

Besides helpful in spreading worldwide news, Twitter allows you to follow everything, and everyone, you're interested in. Instead of clicking on msn.com and reading the headlines and only the news they are feeding to me, I can use Twitter. This way I am sure to find news on the topics and events that interest me most and pertain to my life. I look forward to tweeting with you!
