Got Twitter?

1/28/2009 - Tim Laubacher

If you haven't visited or joined Twitter yet you're really missing out. At first I thought it was too simple a concept to really have any value. But it's simplicity is exactly why it is so valuable!

Let me first explain what Twitter does. Basically you create an account and can send updates, called Tweets, about what your doing or something you want people to know about. They can only be 140 characters, so you need to pack in a lot into that space. For example, I posted "Check out our latest website http://www.discoversouthwindsor.com". People noticed the post and went to the site to see what it was all about.

You can also find, and follow people. For example, I like to listen to keep up with the latest tech news. So I follow people who write tweets about tech things. It's a great way to learn about different things that you are interested in or to give information to people who are interested in what you do.

So, go ahead. It won't bite. Check out http://www.twitter.com
