The Twitter Effect

Posted by Steve Renner as Blogging, Network Marketing, Twitter

Do you Twitter? Haven’t heard of it, what rock have you been hiding under? Everybody and his brother are now on Twitter. In a short time Twitter has built one of the largest communities on the Internet, and the world has taken notice.

The Twitter Effect

Twitter is a Micro-Blogging platform, where people can send short messages to each other or just post them to the entire group.It is integrates with your Cell Phone so you can text. It’s a great way for people to stay in touch, with their friends, business associates, fans, etc.

Twitter is a social site and has quickly developed it’s own sense of community, and a language all it’s own, (similar to other communities like ebay), with their Tweets, Twitts, Tweebs, Tweet-Back, Re-Tweet, all part of the Twitter-Verse.

Seems like the name of the game is how many followers you have. Having been on Twitter for some time, I have recently seen a sharp increase in the number of people following me. I don’t really care, as I kind of do my own thing anyway.

I did follow Britney Spears for a while just for fun, and started getting a lot of young girls following me, so I quickly unfollowed her.

I try to stay mostly in my own niche, in the people I follow, although, I am starting to see the possibility to tap into different networks.

This is very exciting.

I appreciate content, and an exchange of ideas, more than a bunch of marketers all trying to sell each other something!
