Overview of Twitter

Twitter is a privately funded startup with offices in the SoMA neighborhood of San Francisco, CA. Started as a side project in March of 2006, Twitter has grown into a real-time short messaging service that works over multiple networks and devices.

In countries all around the world, people follow the sources most relevant to them (via “tweets”) and access information via Twitter as it happens—from breaking world news to updates from friends. See what people are doing right now.

You can send your own “tweets” using the Twitter.com website or via a third-party application such as Twhirl or Snitter.Your tweets are displayed on your own personal public profile page, on the home page of each of your “followers”, and in the public timeline on Twitter. There are also iPhone and Blackberry applications that allow you to monitor Twitter, create tweets and respond to tweets.

Importance of Twitter

By using Twitter, you expose yourself, and your company’s products and service to a world-wide audience. You have the ability to broadcast tidbits of information (business or personal) or provide links to new articles and headlines. You can promote your business or helpful articles and links.
