Twitter: What You Should Know

Twitter already reached 200 million accounts on its fifth year, and take note of this: 350 billion tweets are delivered every day. Even though Twitterers tries to inform every follower they have on Twitter’s 140-character box, more and more people are still signing up. From simple messages containing what you ate for lunch, what place have you been or just simply telling the world what is on your mind in that instant, Twitter is now used as a simple tool for spreading the news, telling what’s in and anything interesting event anywhere in the world.

Twitter was officially unveiled in March 2006, but it became available to the general public in July of the same year. Originally named “Twttr” and it was changed to “Twitter” in September 2006, this service was even used to track wildfires in California. It even helped an American student from an Egyptian jail in April 2008, it was also used to find gas during the shortage occur in October 2008 at Atlanta. Last September 2009, Twitter’s service was used to quickly spread the news and updates to the families during the Typhoon Ondoy. This June 2011, even the most powerful man in the world utilize this service, yes its true, Barack Obama is now on Twitter!

Even though we have to fit what we want to say in its 140-character box, Twitter without a doubt made change to the world.
