To tweet or not to tweet?

Twitter has been the hot buzz over the last few years as far as social networking goes. The free service allows users to post (really) short message of a maximum of 140 characters via it’s website http://twitter.com and via mobile phones.

I have known the service for a long time, but I never had an account until today. Maybe one of the reasons is that I have read studies that suggests that approxmatly 60% of Twitter users quit during the first month and I didn’t want to be part of the statistics. It’s all cool sending little messages, but social networking takes time and time is precious. I have decided to try it out and see if I can make a benefit from the service. Moreover, I want to explore the possibilities behind Twitter as it’s popularity keeps increasing as days goes by. Many companies and organizations have even started using it as a marketing tool.

You may have noticed that my site articles now show a retweet button located at the upper right of my articles. This button allows users to tweet and retweet my articles. The number of tweets are then compiled on the Tweetmeme site which is similar to Digg except it uses tweets. You are all invited to try it out!

All things considered, I believe that Twitter can be useful and fun to use. In the meantime, make sure to checkout my new Twitter account here!
