My Twitter Page
I have been tweeting for close to a year now, I think. I heard about it while watching Good Morning America, as I was getting ready for work or school in the morning. I thought Twitter seemed interesting enough to try out. I was still new to the social networking world of MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn. I remember thinking it was a bit silly at first. I was under the impression that Twitter was basically posting status updates similar to Facebook or MySpace. I did not find the logic behind that for anyone to be interested in my daily deeds. I however, tried to keep my interest with Twitter. I kept up with my tweets for a only a short time in the beginning. I continued to hear more and more about it and its growing popularity and use within the entertainment and political worlds. Eventually I found myself writing an article about Twitter for an assignment due in my newspaper class. I found out not only is Twitter a way to update your status, but also feature ways for marketing of different businesses. I wrote about an article that I read. It mentioned different businesses that used Twitter to tweet about their daily specials or where traveling businesses would be located in the city that day . Twitter now seemed like a useful tool for many people and businesses. I have also learned different functions of Twitter, such as posting a picture, bio and commenting on other "tweeters'" posts. I do believe that Twitter has come a long way since it was created and will continue to grow. I have also heard many times that some people think Twitter will replace newspapers. I'm still not on the wagon with this statement, maybe in the very distant future, but not anytime close to now. I don't think that Twitter will be going away anytime soon. Overall, Twitter is a useful and helpful device. You can view my Twitter profile: http://twitter.com/JuliaGulia82
