Last year we pondered about the consequences if you printed the Internet, and now Twitter has becomes so influential in most of our online existence that someone is bound to ponder the same question.
Cannot fathom who in their right frame of mind would want to do something so stupid and surely doom planet Earth, but what would happen if you printed Twitter?
According to a Nielsen Online survey, Twitter grew a whopping 1,382% from February 2008 to February 2009, registering a total of just more than 7 million unique visitors in the US for the month of February 2009.
Since joining Twitter back in January 2008, I had been a lukewarm user at best. Recently, I picked up the Twitter bug again and started following more people, especially local tweeters, and actively engaging in this micro blogging community. Well, I guess I’m making up for lost time.
In less than a month, I made many new friends on Twitter, shared and visited many interesting websites via links on tweets, and were surprise to find some of my tweets and replies being featured on some tweeters’ blogs. Even better, I have reason to believe these exchanges helped contribute to an increased in this blog’s traffic of 43.3% during this short time!
If you are still wondering what this Twitter craze is all about, here’s a video explanation of Twitter in plain English, not in geek speak. Additionally, make sure you equip yourself with some Twitter Terminology in order to stay on top of all the jargon and lingo.
I do not have a sweet tooth and I am absolutely not a candy person. But when I see this candy in the provision store, I knew I just have to buy it.
It was labeled as a product from Korea and it was even certified HALAL. I guess it was a shrewd and calculated move to target the huge Muslims following of President Obama. For the record, the candy tasted soft and sweet, like all gummy candies are suppose to taste.
This news article appeared in the local newspaper today, the headline says it all, isn’t it?
I felt sheepishly ironic that I’m blogging this. 2009 will be the year of Twitter, you should get on to Twitter if you haven’t already done so and you should follow me on Twitter.
