TWITTER

Today I came across a very interesting social networking site known as TWITTER.

Twitter is a micro-blogging and social networking site which allow users to send updates or tweets (text based posts of max length 140 chars) to the twitter website. These updates can be send directly at twitter website, through sms service, through a third party application like facebook
and even through instant messaging.
The so called 'tweets' or 'updates' are published on the user's profile and also on the profiles of the followers.Followers are the people or users who chose to 'follow' you on twitter, that is, they are interested in getting your time to time update and this is how social networking is done on twitter.

My initial reaction when I first heard about twitter was,"huff!!! what a waste of time?". But once i saw it and learnt that the updates could also be displayed on your blog, which by the way i have done under the title 'My Status', I decided to join it.Hey after all this is social networking which means more traffic. But not just that it is actually fun and i am getting fond of it.........
