Twitter – Messages in Motion

I had already heard about Twitter but was afraid to sign up to because of my lack of time. I already am in Facebook and I barely have time to check it and answer to all the invitations I have over there.

Yesterday I decided to sign up for Twitter and I think it is really funny. Although a Messenger can do the same, with Twitter you don’t have to engage in a live chat but just inform others of what you are doing at the moment.

You can be in the public list or you can go private and only accept invitations from who you want. Direct replies are also possible and you can send messages from your computer, IM or Cell phone. You can be on the street, traveling and through SMS you can send messages to Twitter and inform your friends to where you’re heading or what you are doing.

When I’m not on the computer, I turn on my cell phone Twitter notifications and wherever I go I receive the updates at no cost. If I want to send a message to Twitter through my cell phone I pay the normal price I usually pay when I send a SMS to another cell phone. Twitter sign up is free.

Personally I use TwitterFox to follow and send messages. Enter the fun!!
