Twitter is the freshly paved ‘Information Super Highway. It is furthermore to be held responsible for my poor response on answering emails. I previously used to type time-consuming correspondence in e-mail now my responses are condensed and instantly transmitted. Twitter is still in its cool phase. It needs to stick around for at least a a small number of additional years before we can actually tell the influence of its service. Twitter is like instant messaging but of low-grade quality. Users can subscribe to efficient text messages from an individual, though the messages are restricted to a maximum of 140 characters. This new service is attracting people of all walks of life which can make for a fun mix or a total nightmare depending on your outlook. In the last month I have received 12,000 followers to our News Wire Twitter account. Most of these original followers send a ‘Welcome Tweet’ or a message to advise you that they subscribed to your Tweets. I can at the present announce that according to 3000+ Tweets I ought to be ashamed of myself for not being a millionaire by now. It seems the greater part of my new Tweeting friends are making mind-boggling amounts of money on the Internet and are graciously giving me the secrets to unlock these millions of dollars. I have not witnessed so much thoughtfulness since somebody sent me a Video of Madonna that had a PC eating virus attached to it. The second cluster of followers inform you on the secret on how you can have 100 new followers per day. Twitter has totally eliminated the need of a street corner on the new Super-Highway. Now you merely have to ask strangers if they desire to be your acquaintance, for no obvious reason. Some of them will. For no apparent reason. There are services that will bow to currency and in effect buy you friends. Granted now we are more or less back on the street corner. If you survive to sidestep and avoid most of those generous offers, you have an added group of new followers to handle. This group of Tweeters would love you to be enrolled in the Mafia. Yes friends you understand that right. You will get Tweets telling you that you have been enrolled in a Mafia and your attendance is requested. So far I am as popular as Vito Corleone. As a result I am a member of 573 Mafia groups. If you do not like this piece of writing, be afraid, be very afraid. Of course i joke. The ‘Mafia’ is part of fashionable online entertainment called ‘Spy Master’ and players try to sign up new members to play. When you are through with the offers, the invitations of joining groups, breaking knee caps in Mafia’s and building your fortune of millions of dollars on the Internet it is time to relax. Now you sit back and watch, and wait, and hold your horses. A recent survey found that only 40% of all Tweeters in fact, have something to say. The remainder of Tweeters are watching. Celebrated Tweeters such as Oprah, Ashton, Madonna and Britney will only Tweet every so often. In addition even on the Super-Highway, there are fraudsters. The Celebrities they appear to be, are not. Wait, it gets worse. The people you think are not famous, actually are. It does get bewildering. When Twitter originally started the service, some people created imitation accounts, such as celebrities who has names we will not disclose. When the real Celebrity finally heard about Twitter (from their staff) it was already too late. At this time the real Celebrity may often have a name similar to ‘TheReal+name’ while the phony account is in spite of everything holding a claim to the screen name until Twitter suspends them. Despite the fact that you think you are following Tom Cruise and ‘he’ tweets to you from ‘his’ living room in ‘his’ boxer shorts, it may be ‘Bernie in Raphaoamdilliang’ someone you would by no means want to see in boxer shorts. The most well-known Tweeter of them all, Ashton Kutcher goes by the name of: Aplusk. Twitter is just now starting to proffer a new Verification process but as Twitter states on their company Blog: ‘The experiment will begin with public officials, public agencies, famous artists, athletes, and other well recognized individuals at danger of impersonation..’ So if you are a minion, sorry, you are still out of good fortune and any person can start an account claiming to be ‘you’. Here is a thought. The US Postal organization managed to authenticate my name and address online by charging $1.00 to my credit card before forwarding mail to a new mailing address. Completely automated and took 2 minutes. But Twitter can not separate Britney Spears from ‘Arnie’s Hot Dog Stand.’ ‘Due to the resources required’. And I thought technology had progressed to innovative highs. In addition Twitter has no advertising, thus far. Given how engaged a considerable portion of Twitter’s users are and how it is befitting a hot testbed for opt-in marketing, it is not unlikely that Twitter’s users may be worth more to advertisers than Facebook’s or MySpace. Before we can find out, Twitter needs to select a business model. Yet again, the private sector is way ahead of the game. At hand, are a small number of companies that tender you money just for putting approximately 140 characters of promotional tweets within your many Tweets. As a result some of your friends unexpectedly get your cheery tweet about a new Stool Softener that hit the market or how Viagra might benefit them. At the end of the day you are dilapidated from Tweeting, turning down millions, playing in the middle of your Mafia associates and chatting with people you would like to talk to. Twitter is despite of everything, the best application to crash into monitors and cell phones since ‘YouTube.’ I see remarkable potential in Twitter’s future. 7 Million and counting. If used in the right approach it is an imposing tool to stay in contact with friends and convey information to individuals that chose to accept it.
