Is twitter part of your everyday life?
These days
most people would answer yes to this question. With nearly everyone owning a
smartphone, being connected to the internet 24/7 is easy. Twitter is one of the
apps that helps you stay up to date with your mates.
The beauty
of twitter is you are limited to only 140 characters it keeps your update short
snappy and straight to the point. No pointless drivvel!
This is
great as you can learn new exciting information about the people you choose to
follow, and your followers can learn new things about you! You can post your:
thoughs, feelings, actions, choices maybe a joke?
You can
follow anyone on twitter (unless there account is private) from your close
chums to A-list celebs! Being connected means you can be the first to know
about a favourite bands upcoming tour, or parties at your mates house or even
money off in your favourite shop.
Celebrities
from Alan Carr to Stephen Fry use Twitter in their everyday lives. Alan Carr
recently revealed through twitter that his special guest on this weeks chatty
man is the icon Britney Spears he tweeted '30 mins till @britneyspears on
@chattyman #BritneyOnChattyMan' this sent his followers wild with excitement!
But don't
think twitter is just for young people or celebrities, it's also a great way of
gaining customer loyalty for a business or understanding peoples interests for
market research.
Twitter is a
brilliant app already used by millions. So, are you going to make twitter part
of your everyday life? That is.. if you haven't already.

Excellent work Kate. You capture a chatty blog style really well and integrate the research seamlessly. Keep up the great work. This is all really promising.
