Today Twitter is the most popular microblogging platform on the whole net. Every second lots of posts is being written by many people there. They just keep sharing information, chatting, writing what are they doing at the moment, but what’s the point of that? Why people keep on twitting? Have they ever asked themselves: “Why I use Twitter?”…

Today I asked myself this question and you know I answered it. I found some arguments and reasons why I’m using Twitter:

• Communication – Twitter is a very good service to communicate with other bloggers and just fine people. It’s impossible to have all of them on one program, like skype, because all of them prefers different programs. Install all the programs? That would be pretty dumb and would slower my PC’s perfomance. So why I would ever need that? While I’m and other bloggers are on Twitter there is no need to panic about the way we should communicate.

 

• Information – On Twitter you can find so many information posted by other that can’t even imagine. Every day I read hundred of tweets and most of them are links to a very informative or just funny posts, pictures and websites. I get like 100x times more news from Twitter than from a local news on TV in the evening. Tweet and you’ll get news from all over the world after few minutes of it happens.

 

• Fun – Tweeting makes me really happy and makes lots of fun. I don’t really know why, but it does.

 

• Good material for blog posts – When reading Tweets written by the others I catch many ideas for the new blog posts. If you don’t have anything on your mind to write about, just go to Twitter, read some new Tweets and I’m sure you will find some great ideas for a blog post.

If you still don’t use Twitter, I highly recommend you to join it. There you will find not just a great community, but many professional bloggers too, like John Chow or Darren Rowse, who can help you with blogging or just talk a bit.
