3,000,000 People Are Using Twitter – Are You?
Why are so many people using Twitter? Why would more 3 million people visit this website? Why are so many technology companies taking advantage of it?
This is really two questions: First, What is Twitter? And second, how do people use it? Here’s a short list of the top benefits of using Twitter.
These updates or tweets known as Twitter, provides the users the benefits to the users for sharing the messages,status updates, what they are doing to anyone who has decided to follow each tweet and really connect with the people who follow them. The members can get these updates through the twitter website, an RSS feed, text message, email, numerous applications including other blogging, social media websites and more.
Twitter: What’s the Big Attraction? (or as my Sig-O says, “Why on earth would total strangers care what you’re up to?”)
Networking: A great way to meet people. If you are in a business with a niche market, you can discover new people that have similar interests to yours.
Marketing: It’s not just about big companies like Dell, Comcast, etc. It’s about connecting with your audience and having a real presence on Twitter. I find that I get business by just having that more personal face to my company on Twitter, and engaging the community.
Stream of Information: I seem to be getting breaking news and information on Twitter before most news sources. A great example was when the last earthquake hit the Bay Area. It was all over Twitter a good 10 minutes before CNN had it as breaking news.
It’s great! People from all over the planet use Twitter. You can always find someone who shares your interests and wants to chat.
If you haven’t checked out Twitter you should absolutely take a look. It’s a very simple, straightforward site. There are many ways to “cross post” which means typing a single status message and have it show up in other social networking sites (not to mention any names).

Help answer the question about why twitter
Why is it on Twitter it says I have 14 followers but it only shows 10?On Twitter, It keeps telling me I have 14 followers but it's only showing 9 or 10. I JUST protected my updates like 5 minutes ago & and it's not been showing 4 of my followers ever since I created My Twitter on June 14th, so protecting them can't be the problem. Does anyone know why this is happening?

As far as I can tell, there are just six possible reasons:
1) They follow people who look interesting, fully intending to read their tweets;
2) They return all (or most) of the follows they get, simply out of courtesy or because they think that’s just what you do;
3) They return follows because they don’t want to be unfollowed for not reciprocating;
4) They follow people simply to encourage return follows, thereby building their own follow count;
5) They follow people simply to encourage return follows, thereby broadening their scope for DM spam; or
6) They don’t pay much attention to Twitter, so they’re not really sure of their own preferences or of the impact of over-following.

I have no idea … and the last part with saying "hi" … it doesn't seem right or fair to me … i mean … it seems like their lives are revolving around the internet -virtual world – … and … that's not right … at least not in my point of view.
So … I don't give a tweet about twitter!

To be really honest, I don’t have twit account.

Twitter is based on micro-blogging platform. You can send the messages via text messaging(mobile use 140 char), Instant messaging,digital audio and web.
This is the primary reason why twitter has limitations of length of message. Additionally Tweets are made available in real-time while traditional blogs doesn't support this awesome feature.
140 char is way good ,if you know to use words effectively. No body wants to read heck loads of crap on a blog- all the micro blogging services are aimed for particular topics, share news and useful info.
So suggest you to make wise use of Twitter and enjoy. And don get crazy for a work around to write more messages, when you can simply tweet all day–break apart your messages
Happy tweeting

Rising Searches for “Twitter Affiliate Marketing” are at 450% and have been for over two weeks. I don’t know anybody who couldn’t benefit from throwing a nice “Twitter Tool” on their homepage.
