What do you do with Twitter

So Twitter is huge, millions of people all over the world posting updates all about their daily lives in 140 letters or less, well that is how it all may have started but things in the Twitterverse have changed quite a bit. Twitter has become the internet news ticker, if you want to quickly spread the word about something then you Tweet about it, if the people decide if it is interesting enough then the news will spread quickly but only if the people find it interesting, you can throw millions into advertising each year and get nowhere near the ammount of publicity a good tweet can produce.

This Twitter Video is one of the first things I seen regarding Twitter and if you are still unsure why Twitter has become so popular then this might help

Twitter in Plain English

Twitter is the fastest moving site on the internet and new and improved ways to Tweet are popping up all the time, you can tweet from everything now it seems with Iphones, Blackberry's, desktop software and your browser,  there are also lots of other things you can do with Twitter and here are just a few of them.

File Social
With FileSocial, you can upload and share all types of files (images, music, compressed files…) through your Twitter account. The comments you send or receive through FileSocial will automatically appear as @reply in Twitter.

Blip FM
Share the music you enjoy with your Twitter followers with Blip FM

Twitpic
Twitpic lets you post pictures from your phone or desktop straight to Twitter,  watch the frontpage for a min or two and see what pictures others are sharing.

Twitvid
Share videos from your phone or desktop with your Twitter account.

in the end Twitter is whatever you want it to be, your insight into the latest trends and topics, a promotional tool for your business, or just as it started out, the way you keep up to date with your friends and family.
