Twitter and its effects
Twitter started as a small company back in 2006 but is recognised as a global microblogging social networking website today. Lets take a short trip through time.
Twttr now known as Twitter founded by Jack Dorsey and many others. Jack Dorsey had envisioned today's modern Twitter! Jack Dorsey was the VERY first person to Twit! His infamous words "just setting up my twttr"
Twitter has changed the web and as such, many applications have been written by developers worldwide about Twitter! Tweetdeck is a famous one, Twitseeker is another one, I could go on and on and I won't cover it all! Heres a site that has 250+ Twit apps!
Twitter is a breakthrough in communication on the web! Twitter is now used in businesses to boast popularity. It can also be used on a personal level, you can meet people from around the world with similar interests.
If I wanted to continue writing about twitter, I would but.... Its too much detail to talk about!
Twitter has SAVED LIFES! No joke! For example, the recent Tsunami in Philippines rendered many homeless and some people spent hours on their rooftops waiting for rescuers, rescuers had a lot of area to cover and a lot of people. But, when people began to twit their positions, they were usually the first to be found and that saved lives!
(*Tip: If you use Google Chrome, type "twit" or "tweet" and it will bring up a bunch of sites about Twitter!)
