What is Twitter?

Posted on March 21, 2008 by Ben Cecka

I signed up for a Twitter account late last year as a skeptic looking at a buzz technology tool. I thought, “Who cares what I’m doing right now” and “How is this useful?”

I’m not sure why exactly, but I recently gave it another go and have become increasingly intrigued with how to use it.

So far I’ve got it pegged to being:

  • an IM client
  • a chat room
  • a micro-blog
  • a news source
  • an idea storm/generator
  • a megaphone

The ways to use it really go on and on. Heck, someone even used it to propose!
