Twitter is a micro blogging service that was started in the year of 2006.It has now become a enormous phenomenon in the world of internet.Twitter is similar to the short messaging service in mobiles.You can post a small message of 140 characters on your twitter page.Your friends and family members can keep track of your messages and know what you are up to.You can also keep track of your friends and family members status using twitter.The message that is posted is called as a tweet ,the people using it are called tweeple and the entire network is called tweetosphere similar to blogosphere.Twitter helps you to post answer to the question “what are you up to?”.It is similar to the concept of status message that can be set in social networks like facebook and orkut except twitter is very simple to use.You can post to twitter using the internet and mobile phones.The use of mobile phones for twitter enables you to update your status in a real time manner.

“If twitter is so much useful why is that i heard many criticisms that it is a waste of time???”

This might be an unanswered question in your mind right now and you are waiting to scroll to the end of this post and type it in the comments section.So i thought instead of making you waste your energy and time, let me give the answer straight away.

When any new technology comes in there will be a lot of criticism on it.For example lets take the case of blogging,when blogging was started it was subjected to a lot of criticism but now it has become a huge success.Similarly twitter will also become a huge success in the future.

So lets start tweeting now!!!
