Are you someone who loves to know what other people are doing every minute of the day or do you like to tell people what you are doing all day? Maybe you are just that person who loves technology and loves to be extremely up to date. Well then, www.twitter.com is just what you are looking for! This new social media craze has people sending the site what they are doing every minute of every day. A person can sign up and start their own account and post as much as they want. They can also post from their cell phones and through IM's. Sounds crazy, huh? Here's the catch...you are only allowed 140 characters everytime you post. I guess that makes it a little better?!?
I guess if you don't like the idea of this then you wouldn't bother with it. Many agree that this site is a little too much bombarding you with everyone's messages. The good part of it is that you can invite friends to join or you can just make friends with fellow Twitter-ers. If you have a best friend or significant other that goes away for a long time, this is a good way to know exactly what they are doing all day. This is probably a great site for people with stalker compulsions as well.
Ok, but all joking aside, this site is a great word of mouth site. For many businesses this is a great way to keep tech-savvy customers aware of what is going on with their company and their products. It keeps them posted on everything that goes on and they will never miss a beat. This could definitely speed up marketing and increase sales faster then a normal site would. The only problem that might arise with the site is the issue with ethical disclosure on certain products due to the small amount of characters/words that are allowed per post but, hey, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!
