I look at the news, I open up Yahoo, MSN, Google & everywhere I go I seem to hear or read about TWITTER. The first time I had heard of it was from my boyfriend. He told me to sign up to try and promote Soapnights, so that’s exactly what I started doing. Before that though, I had never heard about Twitter, from friends, from other people especially not the news. Lately though seems like it’s talked about, pretty much everywhere, and everyone. For example, this morning I read “Broward school officials tweet their news”. You can link Here for the story. They signed up and now they are tweeting, updated news & if there is a hurricane, what to do. It’s amazing how one website can become so popular.
How long will this last though? Is it a phase people are going through, or is it something that will really last a long time?!? I have to admit, I myself am a bit addicted. Some people, like the CEO of Twitter Evan Williams or @ev uses twitter to say “Lessons from today: Obama’s team: smart and committed. Learned a lot and was inspired. Also: people should take my tweets less seriously.”
Some like @tonycarrera write: “Watching Tottenham vs Man Utd FA Cup Quaterfinal replay. Great game so far.” Others simply promote what they are trying to make big in life, whether it’s their business or blog, or website or sometimes like most, a little of both. I do a little of both myself.
I think its amazing such a simple website has become so big. Way to go TWITTER. I’m loving it =)
If you wish to follow me on twitter go to my sidebar, and you’ll see where you can follow me. Or simply go to @soapnights or @kristinquintas. Twitter away…

Thanks for the link 😉
For me the impressive part about twitter is not so much what people are saying but the way people find out and/or reply about what you are saying.
For example, when I tweeted that I was watching that game I was immediately followed by ‘The Premiership’. I’m not sure if it’s the OFFICIAL premiership or just someone with the username promoting the league but the point is they were able to find me by a simple twitter search.
That is why I think that Google should get in the twitter game. Real-time searching. If you tweet “At South Beach about to walk into Mangos for some drinks and a good time” I’m SURE you might get a tweet from someone in the area, Mangos themselves (if they’re on twitter) or just some South Beach fan becoming a follower. The point is real-time is becoming the future and people are just starting to realize it.
