hi guys

2.do you like 140 word limit on tweets.

I have a twitter A/c.
It has its own merits and demerits. But twitter coupled with a third-party gadget linking it to G-Talk creates a very powerful tool of keeping in touch with a group of people, particularly since G-Talk can be used on most smart mobiles very easily.

ya gtalk is great thing.


but the question is do you enjoy the twitter as other social networking site (facebook, orkut etc etc....)

panchabhut

My twitter is also lnked with my facebook A/c through the twitter gadget, what I write in Gtalk gets updated on twitter which also updates my facebook status.
And as I said in earlier post, when on the move its perhaps the easiest networking tool (when used with GTalk)

Do I like it?

I'm not sure anyone is actually bothered about my posts, none of my friends use it and it's more of a business tool than fun.

The 140 characters never causes a problem for me. I am a woman of few words!

money_ms

personally i enjoy it.

but the only thing i do not like is 140 works limit . i need 500 word that is cool.

because i m man of words.

I had only account in twitter. Don't like facebook , myspace & orkut due to their social nature. Twitter is great microblogging site to stay in touch with what is happening.
I like 140 words limit.

I havent ever used Twitter and I do know its different from facebook and all! Facebook being a more socialable and easy to use networking site its easier for me and I enjoy it!

But can someone explain to me more about Twitter!

Is it more for business purposes! And what are tweets?


this sounds quite good!

I created an id once but I didnt find it all that useful.

Preeti_20

well that's not all that helpful but its ok!

so whats this thing that people have on their sites, tweets I mean is it that site owners twitter account with those comments??????

panchabhut

twitter is more like a bulletin board (similar to the Wall feature of Facebook). People post in their bulletin board. they can also link the bulletin boards of other people. when one such linked person posts in his own bulletin board, it also gets duplicated in the bulletin boards of all such persons who are linked to him. So its like pushing a bulk sms to a group of linked persons.

One additional advantage of twitter lies in its ability to auto communicate with GTalk on one side and other networking sites like Facebook on the other side.

I not sure if I like twitter. I use it very seldom. but I don't really know what's its use.
but sometimes I do tweet and its a way of communicating with a friend of mine.

I get an account on Twitter, but I rarely update my status there. It is because either I am not used to if or I don't like it. I much prefer Facebook. It is user friendly, and you can find so much fun there.
