Uses of Twitter
Since joining Twitter over two months ago,
I've found it to be a pretty useful tool to get little
mini-updates from friends. I've also noticed that different people
use Twitter in different ways, a point shared by my Twitter friend
@powpow who
tweeted:
"Interesting to see how people use their Twitter accounts
differently"
I totally agree. While many use Twitter as a personal micro-blog to
say what their doing at any point of the day (like @ch33symac
"standing waiting for graduation to start so i can sit down for the
next 2 hours"), there are many others who post links to interesting
news articles that they see (@irunfortheglory "Tupac is alive!!! http://tinyurl.com/czu5bf"). I've noticed
people who share philosophical questions with others, and others
who blog through what they're watching on tv and sort of talking
to celebrities (@benryyip "LeBron, I hate you").
I feel that the Twitter-verse is still figuring out what to do with
this tool but everyone is slowly finding ways to make it useful. It
reminds me of a shirt that I saw recently:
"The messaging system we didn't know we needed until we had it". I think that pretty much sums it up:)
