The Twitter Revolution
By Brenda Williams

What is all the buzz about this thing called Twitter? It turns out that Twitter has gained considerable notoriety from such news media sources as NPR, Fox News, The Today Show and even Good Morning America. Twitter is where you can send a 140 character message to the world. The goal is to get as many people as you can to “follow” you. I guess you could call it a popularity contest more or less. Obviously, the more people you have following you on Twitter, the more exposure you’ll have- which is a great thing if you’re a business owner or have a web site that you’re trying to drive traffic towards.

Twitter perhaps came into the spotlight back in 2008 during the presidential election. Everyone was all a tweet about what messages the presidential candidates had to say to the world. Sometimes, you have to doubt the validity of some of the Twitter users, however. There are always the spammers that you have to look out for. Spammers on Twitter typically come in the form of someone trying to, exclusively, promote their site and nothing else. Meanwhile, the point of Twitter isn’t just to promote yourself (although that is certainly a side note); the point is to engage in conversations with other Twitter users.

There are all sorts of Twitter applications floating around out there on the web to be used in conjunction with Twitter in an effort to make Twitter more enjoyable for everyone. For instance, one of the more popular Twitter applications (and it should be noted that not all Twitter applications are promoted or affiliated with Twitter) is an application called TwitterFeed.com in which users can submit their blog RSS feed and have it automatically show up in their Twitter profiles. This is a really neat feature because it saves the Twitter user from having to manually type in their information into Twitter each time. It is also helpful in the event that you are unable to log into Twitter for whatever reason.

Another neat thing about Twitter is that you can take it with you wherever you go. Many of you will recall the incident not that long ago where one Twitter user was arrested in a foreign country and used his phone to send out a Twitter message. Because he had a big enough following on Twitter, word quickly got out to U.S. authorities about his situation, and it is said that Twitter supposedly aided in his speedy release from a foreign prison. Talk about dramatic!

You can also upload pictures to Twitter via TwitPhotos. It seems the possibilities are endless. Whether you want to let the world know that you are upset with your job or just taking a quick bathroom break, you’ve got 140 characters in which to get the message out there to the masses. Similar to Twitter is another site called Blip.fm in which subscribed users can share their favorite songs with other users and post them to their Twitter profiles as well. You could say that it’s like Twitter for music.
