I have mixed emotions about Twitter. I have explored Twitter from a business perspective and feel that Twitter has the potential to be quite useful for businesses. As the sidebar tip states, "One of Twitter’s key benefits is that it gives you the chance to communicate casually with customers on their terms, creating friendly relationships along the way—..."
I have also viewed some of the top tweets of the day and I have mixed things to say about Twitter. Some of the things people tweet are completely ridiculous. It is like they are making noise just to hear themselves. On the other hand, someone posted a message about her missing daughter and to keep an eye out for her. Heartbreaking.
Aside from the ridiculous things some people tweet, I can see why Twitter is popular. The real time nature of Twitter allows for information to be spread quickly to those that want to keep in the know and stay connected. Although I do like to be aware of what is going on around me, I am completely uninterested in Tweeting or following tweets. The only time I will likely be a part of this phenomenon is if it becomes work related.
