What Is Twitter Mania?
If you are new at the internet, you might be asking yourself, “What is Twitter?”
”What Is Twitter Mania?” “Is this another fad, or hype?” “How do I use this?”
Twitter is best described as a micro blogging platform. You are limited to 140 characters each time you do an update, which initially, may seem a small amount. However, as you become more experienced, it's just amazing what you can fit into 140 characters.
Wikipedia defines Twittter as:
FROM wikipedia Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length which are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers).
Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow anybody to access them. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. The service is free to use over the Internet, but using SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained extensive
notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as the
"SMS of the Internet,"[2] in that the site provides the functionality —
via its application programming interface (API) — for other desktop and
web-based applications to send and receive short text messages, often
obscuring the Twitter service itself.
Four gateway numbers are available for SMS — short codes for the United
States, Canada, India, and an Isle of Man-based number for international
use. There is also a short code for Vodafone users from the United Kingdom.
Several third parties allow users to post and receive updates via e-mail.
It is taking the internet by storm and there are around 10,000 new users per day signing up to participate in this internet revolution. I have to add also that it is a powerful Web 2.0 platform designed to network with several people at any given time. Consider also that there are hundreds upon hundreds of application software designed by “users” and other software developers making this a phenomenon worth looking at.
That said, Twitter is much, much more than that. It is like one huge global chat room, but then again, it doesn't have to be. It all depends on how many people you follow on Twitter. If it's in the thousands, then your “Tweetstream” will be running fast and furious with everything that's coming in.
If you are only following a few hundred, or even less, then things are much easier to keep up with.
Twitter is also a great way to meet new people online, particularly those with similar interests to you. I will show you how to do this more as we progress through this report. That being said, it is also a great “social-building” tool!
