I posted this article link because I thought the article was pretty interesting. There are so many people who profess not to ‘get Twitter’ or don’t understand the value. I think it depends on what examples you are looking at. Some people on Twitter only worry about pure numbers: how many followers they have, how many people they are following, and how many tweets they have posted.
I think with that mindset, Twitter makes no sense. Twitter is an interactive microblogging site that lets people all over the globe network with each other. You can share photos and ideas virtually. Because it restricts tweets to 140 characters it allows its members to receive and send quick pieces of information.
During the election, I could see what people all over the world were saying. Sometimes I have a question about a specific topic and can quickly and easily send that out to my followers. 95% of the time, I get an answer from someone who is almost an expert in that field. I can share links to recipes, promote my blog, and perform research on companies all over the world-for FREE!! I love technology. Please click on the link below to read the article.
I’m a Twitter nay-sayer, though I do see the potential value of the tool. Maybe I just follow really bad Twitters or maybe I just dont’ find what they say stimulating enough to check more than once a month. On the same token, I don’t have the patience to way what I want to say in short snippets, nor do I think that my day-to-day going-ons would be of interest to anyone.
