Twitter is my new project, while writing my blog I have already told my "followers" that I am actually blogging at this very moment. Telling where you are and what you are doing is the purpose of Twitter..... I thought.
Well, there is actually more behind the idea of Twitter. This afternoon I have read an article in NRC Magazine about Twittering. Biz Stone and Evan Williams started Twitter in 2006 with the purpose of Twittering as media use. They want Twitter to be the "heartbeat of the planet".
"Drinking coffee" and "taking a shower" are not the only terms that come to mind when people think of Twitter (in addition to what most people do think).
Twitter is multifunctional, for example; it can be used to spread news over the world, you can meet people and build a network, you can promote your products, and off course, you can follow your favorite celebrity. I know that not everyone will like Twitter, some people want to keep things private, but the thing with Twitter is, that you can decide for yourself what to say or not to say. We do want to keep things private, but we also like to take a peak into someones life, another possibility of Twitter.
While I am exploring the advantages and disadvantages of Twitter, you can look forward to my upcoming blogs about media use!
