How to tweet, or, Twitter for dummies
Posted by Kevin
So I feel like more and more people have been hearing about Twitter lately.
And that it gets a bad rap. Well, honestly, I think it’s just misunderstood. Yes, it’s essentially just the “status” part of facebook and yes, that is pretty much useless.
But that’s the glory of Twitter. No one actually uses it that way. Mostly, twitter is a “microblogging” platform, and there are tons of interesting people on the site. Honestly, I use my pretty much exclusively to “follow” people and companies I find interesting. For instance, Christopher Walken. His twitter is phenomenal, and pretty funny most of the time too. Check him out at http://www.twitter.com/cwalken. Other people on there range from Richard Dawkins, the well known atheist and author, to Ashton Kutcher. Oh, and John McCain too.
Statuses on Facebook are sometimes irrelevant. Twitter is basically a community of people using the “status update” to do something useful, share information or just keep up with each other. Besides, with how complex Facebook keeps becoming, it’s nice to have a simple platform that allows you to keep in touch with friends.
Not that many of mine are on there, though.
