Is Twitter worth all the buzz?
Currently, Twitter has over 1 million users and it is expected that this count will rise to 500 million by the end of the year. Mahalo’s founder Jason Calacanis told TechCrunch that he offered Twitter’s founders $250,000 to secure a place on micro-blogging service’s “suggested users” list for the next two years.Is Twitter worth all the buzz? What made it reach this point? The following article will answer these questions.
The most attractive feature of Twitter is the Micro-blogging service through which users can share information or personal updates with everyone, especially when they don’t have time to update their blog or personal site. This feature paves the way for users to build a strong friends network. It has become a platform for web traffic and brand exposure.Next, its simplicity comes into the picture. It doesn’t mess up the site with many built-in features. It offers only the micro-blogging service with services to support the Twitter culture and is purely dedicated to sending messages to all your followers.
You can find like-minded tweets easily through the search feature. If you are a new writer and need to find experienced authors, just search Twitter for the word ‘author’. It will offer a list of authors, just follow the people in the list and form a network to find answers for your questions related to writing. This feature will also help business people to meet their intended audience.
A recent study on Twitter states that one in five online adults aged between 18 and 24 have used Twitter, and also that Twitter users gather more information through the Internet. It is widespread over almost all fields, which ensures prompt replies for any post, within a few seconds of posting. So posting any questions in Twitter will fetch you answers immediately from experts in the respective field.
Current affairs or news on any events are shared among tweets immediately, sometimes even before the news reaches the news sites. A famous example is the picture of the plane that crashed in the Hudson River. It was posted on Twitter and had thousands of views before the news even reached CNN.
To put it in a nutshell, the sheer simplicity of it, the blogging service, easy search, popularity and immediate response are the notable reasons for the popularity of Twitter.
