Every Tom, Dick and Harry is talking about Twitter, so you must be wondering what exactly is Twitter. Twitter is nothing but very similar to that of blogging but in a short form. It can also be termed as just another form of social networking but with a twist to it. This is just like telling the world what you are doing in your day today life and just like blogging it evolved into being writing about anything in short form that is below 160 letters, just similar to typing a text message in your mobile phone. You will need to express your thoughts in just 160 words and that is the specialty of Twitter.

Due to the viral nature attached to it, Twitter got very popular and most of the regular bloggers used it to promote their existing blog and thus getting additional popularity through that means. It is otherwise being commonly referred to as microblogging. Twitter got very popular during this year’s American election with Barack Obama using it in his election campaign. The future of Twitter really looks brighter with its popularity growing in manifolds and soon might even overtake the phenomenon called blogging or would just compliment along with it.
