Why You Should Twitter

I was recently asked why Twitter is valuable, or why I do it. So I put together a list of reasons.

• It’s a mini blog; can serve as a type of diary.
• You can keep up with what your friends are doing.
• Make new personal friends and professional contacts.
• See another side of your current friends and family.
• Follow your favorite bands, celebs, political figures, etc.
• You can Twitter from many different applications and devices (such as your mobile phone).
• Twitter can quickly become an impromptu info-sharing point (used during San Diego fires).
• It can be used for news, marketing, and customer service.
• Can connect with Facebook, blogs, etc.
• It will make you a better writer.
• Faster than texting numerous people at once.
• Minimal effort to start (unlike a blog).
• It’s fun and it’s a good source of entertainment!
