Twitter is a short message routing service with limited messages of 140 characters to the tune of asking you what you are doing at the time you log into the social media network. Tweets can be compared with the texting of a message on a cell phone. The difference between the text and the tweet is that the former is one on one and the other is one to many.

Twitter is not a blogging service. There is a common or shared area for social neworking. Twitter have a local commons and there is no restriction to what is post except the length of the message.

Email is like a person to person call while blogs are like a lecture witth followup questions and discussions. Twitter has been described as going to a cocktail party.

Twitter is not just a site to let people know what they are doing at the moment in 140 words or less. When email came out people would say why not just pick up the telephone to talk to someone. When texting came out, it was very troublesome and some people wondered why bother.

Twitter service is serious communication and you need to try it. Twitter may become more important than blogging. People pass along good information and help each other. Companies build brand loyalty and acquire new customers with social media. Dell made $1 million on a distribution of online coupons. You may not make a million dollars but try Twitter and you will see that it was worth the wait.

Twitter now have over $175 million members included celebrities and political figures.
