Twitter was originally an internal service for employees of Odeo but entered into the public domain in July 2006. By 2007 early adopters and tech bloggers had started to
use Twitter, and the service has grown every year since then. In 2009 it benefited from the Oprah Effect, hitting the mainstream in a big,
bad way. However, despite now boasting more than 200 million active followers, Twitter is lagging
a long way behind Facebook and its userbase of 1 billion-plus. Those who haven't yet succumbed to the lure of Twitter seem unlikely to ever do so, and they're missing out on an exciting and intoxicating experience. Which is a crying shame. What follows are seven reasons why you
should be using Twitter.
1. Interesting People
We all want to surround ourselves with interesting people, don't we? Sadly not all of us get the chance to do that in the real world. You're tied to your family by blood, and while
other people are your friends for a reason (meaning you should get on with them extremely well) that doesn't mean they'll have anything particularly interesting to say. Twitter is meant not for friends and family but for people you actually want to communicate with. You can follow anyone and anyone can
follow you. There's none of the mutual agreeing to be friends required by Facebook, so if you want to follow 500 complete strangers then that's your right. If none follow
you back then it doesn't matter a lot.
Twitter is full of people with things to say, and you can listen.
2. Breaking News
Twitter has proved its worth in recent years as a platform for breaking news. The simplicity of the site means that the first think
many people at the scene of a developing news story do is to tweet about it. A few retweets later and the news has spread. This has led to Twitter beating traditional news
outlets to a story on many occasions. Even if you don't want to actively tweet yourself, you can use Twitter as a source for breaking news. By following news aggregators, rolling news channels, and journalists, you can get the inside scoop of a story long before it hits the mainstream news outlets.
Who needs newspapers when Twitter usually beats them?
3. Tracking Trends
As well as breaking news Twitter is a fine resource for tracking online trends. If a YouTube video is going viral then it will be getting shared on Twitter. If a new meme is spreading like wildfire then it will appear on
Twitter. If a celebrity has done something newsworthy but has managed to avoid the news leaking to the mainstream press it will likely appear on Twitter. Hashtags also figure into this, and most of the Trends listed on Twitter use this simple method of assigning a particular subject to a tweet. You can tailor Twitter trends to suit
you, switching from 'Worldwide' to thoseemerging from a particular country. Trending hashtags can tune you into the zeitgeist.
4. Company Contact
Companies love Twitter. Your favorite brand is highly likely to have a presence on the site, whatever product they sell or service they provide. Twitter is a great tool for
brands to promote themselves and their products, but they are unable to push their wares onto consumers without consumers pushing back.
Twitter represents one of the quickest and easiest ways to contact a company to get
instant customer service. The response you receive may not be as fine-tuned as you would get by speaking to a person on the
phone, but at least you won't be kept on hold for hours before you get that attention. Get a quick response by embarrassing a brand on Twitter.
5. Celebrity Access
Celebrities love Twitter too. While not every famous person is present on the site, a high percentage are. The celebrities get another platform to promote themselves and their
latest film/television show/book/perfume, and in return their fans gain a new way of accessing their heroes.
While those who are really keen on certain famous people have always found ways to talk to them, Twitter makes it very simple indeed. If a celebrity is on Twitter then
anyone else on Twitter can send a message to them. They may even respond. Indeed, I've communicated with several celebrities on
Twitter in this way. Tweeting a celebrity beats stalking them.
6. Creative Outlet
Most of the entries so far have outlined reasons to follow other Twitter users, such as girl geeks and popular scientists. But you can
easily turn this on its head by instead creating a Twitter presence that others want to follow. You're only limited by your creativity. You can start a Twitter account about
anything, as long as you abide by the rules set forth by the company. You may want to parody a famous person, write short poetry, recount witty anecdotes, or tell lame jokes.
Twitter gives you a certain sense of
anonymity to plumb the depths of your creativity. Be imaginative with themed tweets.
7. 140 Characters
If you're anything like the majority of people, you have a short attention span. You can read novels, in-depth features, and articles several thousand words long, but there are
times when you'd rather not have to. This lack of attention span is why TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) became so popular, and it has also certainly helped foster the popularity
of Twitter. You only have 140 characters to say what you want to say in a tweet (excluding URLs).
This means people are forced to get to the point quickly, paring the facts down to their core essence. Sure, there may be a link to a longer news story, but it's surprising how much information you can consume purely
from reading tweets. 140 characters makes TL;DR redundant.
Conclusions
If you're already a fan of Twitter then do you think this list sums up the best reasons others should try the site for themselves? Is there another, perhaps better, reason why? If you're not on Twitter yet has this article made you consider signing up to see if it's for you? If not, why not? What is the one thing holding you back?
