Twitter, is a social network that allows you to post message less than 140 characters. Twitter is like a network when you send out a tweet, everyone in the world can see it. (Or at least those who joined Twitter)
Twitter is something like an SMS, you can use short forms in your post. They are called tweets. Something like a micro-blogging as discussed earlier in this post.
Following Other users and followed:
Follow others, their tweet will appear on your timeline. You don't need approval to follow people neither do they need your approval to follow you so long your account status has been set to public. Which it is by default. You might want to follow people who is in your niche which could be helpful in the long run (Will be discussed in the later series).
The purpose of having a twitter account:
What is your purpose of having a twitter account? Or to be more exact, what do you want to do with an account?
Sharing News and Stories?
Would you want share some interesting news with people? For example the new iPhone 4s, or the new iPad 3, would you want to share the news of the date when it comes into market? Or perhaps you would like to share news about politics? Endless opportunities for you, you can just pick one topic and just spread the word!
Personal Use probably?
Some people uses twitter for personal use, for example, you would like to share your thoughts with your friends, family or whoever who follows you. People who uses twitter for personal use can set their twitter status to private. Some people also create twitter accounts to follow their favorite band or singer. Nowadays the latest trend is on K-pop follow some superstars on twitter might seem like a good idea, but chances of them following you back is almost impossible.
Customer Service?
The ways of using twitter can also be used to convey messages of help to other users whom uses your products. More for commercial use than personal use. This is also an easy, quick and hassle-free way of helping customers in need and a quick reply can help save your customer by addressing their needs.
That's all for this post. I would like to hear what you use twitter for and feel free to drop a comment. Like this post? Take a few minute to share it or "tweet it" as twitter users would say.
Hope you like it and enjoy!~
