I first signed up for Twitter more than a year ago. I have to admit, I didn’t get it. I thought it was silly…lame, even. I’d login every once in a while and try to think of something to say, but I’d usually end up thinking it was stupid and log out without typing anything.

Eventually, I decided Twitter was NOT for me. I deleted my account.

Soon after that, a bunch of my blogging pals were talking about Twitter this and Twitter that, so I created a new account. I don’t know what the difference was, but this time around I found myself wanting to use it. I found people I knew on Twitter and followed them. It didn’t take long for me to become hooked.

Twitter has been used for breaking news. When an Airbus A320 crashed into the Hudson River, a Twitter user posted pics and twittered about it long before any traditional news media outlet arrived for coverage.

If you don’t know what Twitter is, you should consider checking it out. Basically, you “tweet” something, 140 characters or less, and then people who are following you read it and respond if they have something to say. It’s a great way to get a message out to a group of people all at once in real time.

If you are already on Twitter, follow me today! You should also follow New Dawn Technologies, too.
