I have heard mixed messages about Twitter from my friends. I hear the well it’s like just a bunch of Facebook statuses – except you’re limited to 140 characters. I invite you to look past the Twitter is just like Facebook statuses stage. Once you do look past this stage, then you can see what Twitter is all about.
Twitter is what you make of it and people have different uses for Twitter. Twitter could be simply one status update after another, if that’s what you make Twitter to be. That’s just half of Twitter, you see. Twitter is a conversation piece; a topic of conversation. Twitter holds many conversations that are going on across millions of people globally, nationally and locally. In the grand scheme of things, you are just a tiny speck in the large Twitter world.
Discovering and using Twitter as both a conversation piece and as a place to update your status, you’ll allow yourself to grow from a tiny speck to a large speck. A large speck which has hundreds and may be even thousands of followers – gravitating to your every word.
Twitter is scary and daunting at first. I didn’t really understand it and I too thought – hmm, this is just like Facebook statuses. Once I dug deeper, I found myself imersed in a world with conversation and life.
Don’t let Twitter scare you, because the longer you wait – the more opportunities could pass you by.
