Twitterrific

I fell in love with... Twitter!
Just a couple weeks ago I was very sceptic about Twitter. I did not understand why everybody was Twittering and talking about Tweets and stuff. Until I started Twittering for a schoolproject..

Twitter is addictive and actually kind of fun to be honest. At first I did not get it at all; I did not know how to post a Tweet or follow fellow-Twitterers. After an hour of practise I posted my first real Tweet. I downloaded the application "Twitterrific" on my iPhone. This application allows me to Twitter anywhere. Everytime I open the application it shows me how many new Tweets have been posted by who and when. So it really keeps me up-to-date with Twitter, I won't miss a single Tweet. Twitterrific also gives you the opportunity to post new Tweets, you will only need a working Internet connection. So with the convenience of this application, I joined the Twitter hype.

I found some celebrities on Twitter who have more than 100.000 followers and I realized that Twitter can reach a large crowd. Is Twitter just another hype that will fade away in time? I don't know, but I think that Twitter can be an ideal marketing-tool. For example, how did you find my blog, could it maybe because of Twitter? Companies, such as The Iconfactory (makers of the application Twitterrific) already adapt to the Twitter hype. Do you think Twitter is terrific?

Oh and follow me on Twitter: lindastege !

  1. Hi girl!

    I don't have my own google-account, that's why I use this account (it's from my last project at school)

    I thought, let's start a discussion!
    You think Twitter is terrific, but what about people who do not always have Internet on their phone (like me ;))? That means that when I open the application on my laptop, I will have thousands of new posted Tweets. That will be chaotic.

    Kind regards,

  2. Hi girl!

    Thanks for your reaction!

    I think that you are totally right, that is why I am so happy with this application on my phone.

    I think that you are experiencing the transfer-period between just having internet on your pc & having internet everywhere (for example on a laptop or mobile phone).

    In the future I think almost everybody will have access to the internet on their mobile phone, so the problem will be solved.

    Kind regards,
    Linda
