Mini Blogging, That's Twitter

Filed in archive Blogs on May 30, 2008

What are you doing? That's the question that Twitter is asking. How do you plan on answering?

Some Twitter users are using Twitter to keep in touch with friends or family, some are keeping up with co-workers. Some are doing something unique, like keeping track of what they eat. Others are just constantly answering the question, what are you doing.

People Twitter in many different languages all over the world. They come to Twitter to blog about themselves and their lives. Why use Twitter and not a traditional blog? Because it's easier. You don't need to add a big long blog post about what you did today, complete with photos. All you have to do is write one or two sentences.

When you add followers and start following other people on Twitter you turn Twitter into a big chat site. You can ask your friends what they're doing and read about what they've done. Answer your friends and post comments to their comments. This is the most personal blogging community I've ever belonged to.
