Twitter the new Facebook

This blog is dedicated to everyone who has asked me about "Twitter" and its purpose. Well here it is ladies and gentlemen enjoy. 

Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.  

Twitter messages may be tagged using hashtages, a word or phrase prefixed with a #, such as #okstate. This enables tweets on a specific subject to be found by simply searching for their common hashtag, provided that the user has tagged their tweet. 

Here's a  great YouTube video titled "Twitter in Plain English."

It explains what Twitter is all about and how it works. 

I predict in a year Twitter will surpass Facebook in users and become the No. 1 social media Web site. 

Until next time. 

Best, 

GPaul

I like your blog post on "How to Become a Tweeter." If only everyone could understand the value of this social media networking Web site, Facebook would be scared.
