Twitter assesment

The social networking site twitter makes me picture someone twitching because they haven't posted on their blog for a week. The site itself appears to be very simple. Twitter is based off of micro-blogging which is basically short blogs limited to 140 characters. Unlike other social networking sites such as myspace and facebook, twitter's profile page is very simple, it consists of a picture of ones choosing, a screen-name, and any blogs you have posted. Myspace and facebook, allow you to put all of ones personal information on their profile pages and at sometimes even seem "stalker friendly" by updating on ones friends actions through out the day. The site also offers topics to blog about such as recent movies that are coming out and even an "Iloveyou" topic. The people who use it seem to be the same type of people who use other sites like facebook and myspace and seem to also have accounts on the previously mentioned sites. Many people here just post up on blog updates on how their day is going or to ask questions about random topics they need help with and of course to also keep in touch with frineds.Like mentioned before twitter is more private than other sites. Most people only have a name, location, a short bio, and a link to other websites. People can be more reserved and decide to not post these items about themselves and can also limit how much information about themselves they share by being able to remove previous posts. The site itself is useful to simply update on the status of your day and see how the day of people who one follows is going.It is a place to keep in touch with in a much simpler way than other sites. By limiting the blogs to 140 characters people have to decide what bits of information will be useful to their followers and to make themselves sound interesting.

Twitter is a social networking site that allows its users to update their daily "going's on" and keep in touch with others. Users are allowed to chose whom they will follow and who will follow them. It appears that this site is a lot more private towards the information given about the users of this service. Twitter can also be updated through mobile phones so that when something you simply must tell everyone about immediately happens you can.
