140 Characters of Revolution

I am of course talking about Twitter, which has seemed to hit the seen quicker than MySpace or Facebook and the other other social networking sites that are all the rage. With twitter there's nothing silly or outlandish about it. It is what it is 140 characters of simplicity which in the fast-paced society we live is the most obvious way of networking, isn't it?

Except for the service of semi-linked picture site, it just takes all the complexity out of networking. You could go as far as saying that it is mini-blogging, fitting as much as you can into the space of a text message. The rise of Twitter has come about around the fifth birthday of Facebook and that shows how people are still enjoying that sort of networking. And to be honest Facebook has anything you could think on it, and its succes will come like a craze in the playground with each generation passing it to the next generation.

Twitter is a well thought system with, as I said it working like a mini-blog, as celebrities add comment to their lives just like any average Joe with a mobile or computer does. For Example, it was well documented that whilst on his last trip across and through every state of America, Stephen Fry used Twitter to tell people where he was, see his progress and allow others to help him find the best places to visit.

In short Twitter can be used by anyone, and will act as a simple version of Facebook, because do people really have the time these days? Especially when they can update on everything and add photos straight from their mobile phone.
