I signed up for a Twitter account some time ago but didn’t really get into it. Why? I don’t really know why. I guess it didn’t appear as an interesting Web 2.0 application at that time. I was spending more time on Facebook, Orkut and other social networks but today I decided to give Twitter a go. I login to Twitter (I amazingly login without forgetting my password ) and started using it just for fun.

What is Twitter?
Twitter is not a social network. It is more of a micro blog. I say that because you can twit as much as you like as long as it is 140 characters or less per twit. It is amazingly simply and straight forward to use and quoting Chris Pirillo, Twitter is organised chaos. As a Twitter, you can follow other Twitters and get updates whenever they twit. Other Twitters can also follow your updates.

How do you Twit?
You can twit directly from the Twitter website, use IM, mobile phone SMS or install a mobile Twitter application or a desktop Twitter widget on your computer and use it to twit whenever you want.
