Are You Twitter Yet

Greetings All!
Speaking of social networking, I don’t know if you’re much into it or not. Twitter is one of well over 1000 social networking sites that I know of, and it is one of the most popular ones. Yes, there are a lot of mixed opinions on Twitter specifically, but Twitter just got more useful to the small business crowd.
If you haven’t heard about twitter, here is what all about - Twitter is an online application that is part blog, part social networking site, part cell phone / IM tool. It is simply as blogging for regular people. It is a free service works by letting you broadcast your text message to your friends’ mobile phones from either from your own phone, an instant message or from an online form at twitter.com.
So no matter what you are doing, how busy you are, or don’t have much to say, you can posts your message up to 140 characters, and the topic is, invariably, “what are you doing?”
Twitter can serve as a “virtual water cooler” where people talk about work, the weather, sports, or anything else that comes up. Twitter’s networking component lets you make connections with your friends’ friends, share valuable information with each others, and this dynamic can lead to serendipitous professional or personal relationships with other Twitterers.
Many tweets do answer the question of what the user is doing, but plenty of others are responses to other tweets, pointers to online resources that the user found interesting, musings, or questions.
Twitter is similar to social networking sites like Facebook, it lets users create formal friendships that collectively establish numerous and interconnected networks of users.
The way of join is very simple, it is free for you register and open an account at Twitter.com, and then you can “follow” others, and others can “follow” you.

Hope you enjoy.
Happy Twitterers 
Cheers
