TTQT - How do you explain what twitter is?

Posted by McAWilliams under Written

Ok it’s Tuesday Twitter Question Time so what was on my mind last night well Twitter has gone much more mainstream lately, programs talk about it, Obama campaigned on it, and people now want to know more about Twitter how do you explain it to the interested? Try to use only 140 chars its quite hard!

Starrybluesky: -twitter gives you a window to the world :)

bdum_bdum: like facebooks status update thing, and nothing else

ellybabes: Like texting, except that ur message gets delivered to all of ur friends at once & your tweets and replies are stored online

aileenwilliams: the only way i can explain it is’ sometimes there is a topic u like and u can join in other times it’s not so interesting

Mike_Kiely: It’s a notice board for you, your friends and everybody else’s thoughts - and you can choose whose you see.

moonstruckmania: to me it is the perfect blend of chat, im and a news feed. Informative, personal and non personal and at times just plain silly

stimpled0rf: you could describe it as a continuous worldwide conversation - with the opportunity to dive in&out as it ‘twitters’ around you.

eolai: Twitter is conversation, with all its strengths & flaws, a real time equal interaction of the serious, the mundane, & resources

spiller2: ive given up! I just say its a forum with a140 character limit per post!

davidd: “It’s like Facebook messages and you see all the messages from your friends.”

bngr: I usually use my hand to gesture the stream of tweets & say it’s bit like FB statuses.I say its hard to get into & keep up with

icedcoffee: a) I don’t b) a social network for communicating with people, in 140 char.

anthonymcg: A mini-social network but with a better focus. Ideas, feedback and banter.

petertanham: It’s like subscribing to a feed of people’s Facebook statuses, but they don’t have to be your Facebook friends

s_ana: “If Facebook had a website dedicated solely to status updates, it would be Twitter.”

johnpeavoy: #ttqt Just show them Tweetdeck is my suggestion!

marramgrass: Badly :D Is it possible to get Twitter until you’ve used it, and used it for a while at that?

bigstevie1275: A Socal network where u just tweet what your doing,your thoughts,rant a question or something random. F/book without the shit

sarahphelan: ttqt “its like facebook status but more like a blog but its public so you can chat to/listen to anyone and share information”
