Re: Why Twitter?

Re: Why Twitter?

Twitter is a blog, very short blog. It has a limit of 250 characters. That is it. You can have people follow you and similarly you can follow other people. Its famous amongst famous people as you dont need a computer for most of the part. You can do that from your smart phone. Because its simple in concept, the app is more powerful than lets say a FB app, so its convenient for for both bloggers and readers

Re: Why Twitter?

Re: Why Twitter?

Re: Why Twitter?

lol no dude

I dun use it much I just follow others

Re: Why Twitter?

So it's like posting a comment and having your "followers" read it...somewhat like a Facebook status?

Re: Why Twitter?

Whatever you will post all ur followers can see it but they cant comment on it

Very different from FB

Re: Why Twitter?

Oh they cannot comment? Then what's the point?

Re: Why Twitter?

Its just short!!

Short messages that can be updated 24/7 and you don't need a computer for it. A phone will do. I used it for a bit but the followers and following concept was a bit weird so I didn't continue. :-S

Re: Why Twitter?

they can comment.............:)

Re: Why Twitter?

Acha i didnt knew it

Re: Why Twitter?

that is why I think that Twitter is for self centered people. You want to say your stuff but dont want to hear what others are saying.

Re: Why Twitter?

Oh I see, then I get it. It's like if you want to share something exciting with your following...you tweet!
