Know Twitter inside out as a guy

Friendster used to be my first social networking website that i frequent.
It used to be the coolest thing during my secondary school days.
Then it became Facebook.
And now.. Twitter.

Intially my perception of twitter is that it is just another social media platform that allows people to know what each other are doing.

I thought to myself, isn’t it the same as Facebook‘s ‘what are you doing now’ application? (Many said that the idea originated from Twitter)

The point is, i find that why bother using twitter when you have facebook (FB) since FB has that application and much more.

After these few weeks of intensive Twitter usage as well as some fine-tuning on how to use Twitter correctly, i finally see the beauty of Twitter.

To make the digestion of facts easier,

Think of  Twitter as a guy.

He would be a charming one.

He would be such a lovable and sociable person
whereby loads of people likes to be with him.

Twitter likes to share friends.

From him, these people will get to know other people from various background and the chain follows on.

If any friend wishes to know another friend,
Twitter would generously introduce you to him by letting you ‘Follow’ that person.

Anyone can ‘Follow‘ Anyone and that person is able ‘Follow’ you back.

You guys can then share information with each other.

However, Twitter is not ‘so’ awesome.

Being a guy that treasures time alot,
Twitter likes to carry short conversation that lasts within ‘140 characters‘.

This allows him to easily know the latest news and gossips that his friends are talking about.

If there are any lovebirds who wishes to talk in private,
Twitter would also allow them to ‘Direct Message‘ each other in private.

Oh Twitter, how understanding and thoughtful to our needs.

And if lets say twitter brings his friends to a bar.

A bar being noisy and crowded with people,
its normal if one person didn’t know another person is talking to him.

This is when dear twitter is able to allow them to do so by ‘mentioning‘ names (example: @joreenlye).

Isn’t Twitter awesome?

From him,  millions of people are able to connect with people from the other side of the globe, are able to establish business relationships, are able to get the best information and lastly, they are able to get what else but friends.

What’s more? its free. <3
