I remember receiving a lot of invitations from friends to join one of the most popular short messaging service site on the web today — Twitter. A lot of bloggers use this service not just to form social networks but also to promote their blog posts to people who “follow” their messages.

Here’s an excerpt from Twitter:

Why do so many people seem to like Twitter? Simplicity has played an important role in Twitter’s success. People are eager to connect with other people and Twitter makes that simple. Twitter asks one question, “What are you doing?” Answers must be under 140 characters in length and can be sent via mobile texting, instant message, or the web.

Twitter’s core technology is a device agnostic message routing system with rudimentary social networking features. By accepting messages from sms, web, mobile web, instant message, or from third party API projects, Twitter makes it easy for folks to stay connected.

With twitter, you can have real-time conversations with thousands of people all over the world, not limiting at all. The difficulty would be following all announcements, messages or questions of all the people in your network. A lot of breaking news and important information are being posted by Twitter users which you don’t usually find in the newspapers or in the television.
What is so cool  about twitter is that you can actually post messages and receive notices over multiple networks and devices. You can actually twitter wherever you are, anytime of the day. As a newbie in using this service, I am so far with my vast network of people from all over the globe who follows me and whom I following.
