Who's On Twitter?

It's basically a site dedicated to status updates. Lily Allen is currently using it to take aim at News of the World and Perez Hilton.

Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.

Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS, or through applications such as TwitterMobile, Tweetie, Twinkle, Twitterrific, Feedalizr, Facebook, and Twidget, a widget application. Four gateway numbers are currently available for SMS: short codes for the United States, Canada, and India, and a United Kingdom-based number for international use. Several third parties offer posting and receiving updates via email. Estimates of the number of daily users vary as the company does not release the number of active accounts. In November 2008, Jeremiah Owyang of Forrester Research estimated that Twitter had 4-5 million users. A Bloomberg article in February 2009 stated the number to be 55 million daily users.

Oh, and im on it too... :wink:

@ her and Perez's convo.

Eh...so many social websites! I might get one just for the heck of it. I'm guessing this is going to be the big new "it" thing!

I may sign up. Seems interesting. Plus, Lily and Perez are having a bitch fight.

Twitter is quite possibly the most pointless thing I've ever seen. How is it any better than, or different to, just changing your status message on Facebook?

...that's right, it's not.

And seriously, 'micro-blogging'? Gimme a bloody break... if a blog entry can be condensed down to 140 characters, I guarantee it's not worth reading.

It was hilarious! Perez congratulates her for her US success and says it's only because she sells her albums at $3.99.
and she replies

its also number one everywhere else in the world douchebag. Go away you little parasite.

No...I'm not a member of twitter!

Never seen it but I've heard it's the thang in Ireland so I'm gonna sign up

I agree with John - I'm worried that twitter will really take off and technobimbos like me will have to adjust to it cause it probably shall take over from Facebook like that did with myspace :roll:

Well i dont like when people have conversations via their status on facebook.

I think its cool to have a separate networking site just for status.
