Should I Use Twitter?

Twitter was originally supposed to be a site that allows you to update your family and friends, but after it took off there was no stopping it. Twitter grew into a micro-blogging network that allowed bloggers to interact on two different levels. One on the bloggers network and the second on Twitter. Twitter allows you to create a connection between your blog site and Twitter.

As Twitter began to emerge from the internet globe people became skeptical because blogging at 140 characters seemed to be preposterous. Twitter only allows 140 characters in any tweet. By the years end Twitter became the new trend and it was spreading like the black plague across the world.

As Twitter became popular people took advantage of the opportunity and started to use it as a means of promoting products and different types of shows. Politicians started to use Twitter as a publicity tool and actors did as well. As Twitter grew, more and more people signed up.

To get started on your own Twitter page just go to the web site at www.twitter.com and click sign up. You will need to provide your email address and if you would like, you can provide your cell phone information too so you can instantly get new tweets on your phone from where ever you are.

After you have signed up and passed all the steps that Twitter has asked you, you may proceed to follow any person in the whole world that is on Twitter. If people like you they will follow you and you will know that they follow you because you will get a message in your email box or a text through your phone.

As soon as you get followers you will want to update or tweet as much as possible, but tweet only on interesting topics or people may see you as annoying and they may even unfollow you. Also people will grow suspicious if you have a thousand followers and only one update because they may think that you are out to spam or even scam people.
