What Is Twitter All About?
You have heard of Twitter but don’t know what it is. Don’t worry, you are not alone.
You can think of Twitter as a social network but it is less rigid than Digg or StumbleUpon. The system allows you to create your own micro communities, and your actions inside those communities will not affect people outside of them. Every member behaves in a haphazard manner and there is no control over what happens to anyone at any point of time.
The basic concept is a winner: each user has the right to decide who he will follow, who will be able to follow him, and what micro communities he will join. You can’t go wrong with democracy right?
Suppose now, you start a marketing campaign on Twitter, users not following you will not notice your existence, while those who are following can simply remove the follow to stop receiving your nuisance messages. But if your promotional messages are done right, your fans will still follow you.
Some people have taken to using Twitter as a micro blogging tool. Others use it as an instant messaging utility. Others yet use the tool to promote their websites, and some people are even trying to sell their Twitter accounts on eBay!
Be creative and you can think of even more ways to use Twitter. There are immense financial rewards if you do become the next Twitter king.
