How Twitter Has Invaded Our Lives
If you haven’t been Twittering lately, then you haven’t lived at all. It seems that Twitter – the website that promotes blogging on a tiny scale – has captured the attention of plenty of people with lots of diverse motives for using it.
At first glance you might wonder why everyone is so keen to use it. After all this really is blogging in a hurry – you get a mere 140 characters to say your piece, and that includes a link to another website if you want it.
But therein lies the attraction. It seems that a lot of people become intimidated or overwhelmed by the prospect of keeping up with the demands of a normal blog, whereas Twitter takes all those away by limiting the amount you can say. Of course there will always be those who join up and get started, only to abandon it as a waste of time just a few days later.
So are there rewards on the site for those who seek them, or is it just another social networking site?
