I have an account at twitter but rarely visited the site because I find it not user-friendly, but I love twitter because I can post all my sentiments in life and some updates. But most of my friends there are not in my circle, I mean not familiar, because my friends don't like twitter. How about some of you?do you account in twitter?

hi, I have a twitter account and find it very useful many times. I too have friends in twitter but i dont know them in life. The idea is to share information which you find important or can be useful. It is not for making friends like other social networking sites though you can add some people. The main purpose is to get updates for a particular group or friend, share information which you friend can reweet to people in his list..I hope you find the information useful..Happy myloting. ;)

Hello, Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, none of my close friends are active in twitter no matter how I convinced them hardly. But I have some few friends using twitter but they are not active, so I ended up having followers whom I didn't know but shared a common interest and passion--writing.

I do have a twitter account, and really like the idea of twitter. Most of my friends on there are people that I dont actually know, however, and I mainly use it to keep track of my favourite celebrities and see what they are up to. I do think it is aimed at a younger audience and I agree that it isnt very user friendly at all, it took me a while to understand what the point of it was.

Twitter is widely known as "SMS of the internet" as what its founder, Jack Dorsey revealed, so what i am doing in twitter is post my tweets, messages that supposed to be texted to friends, instead I just tweet those messages. I must admit that twitter is not friendly user and not as exciting as facebook, but it is a serious social networking site because you can share important information.

At first I just couldn't see the point of Twitter, but the more I use it, the more I like it. This past month, I have been using it to promote my writing on Gather (ie, to get page views for my article), and I have to say, it has really worked. Now that I am on there more, promoting my own work, I find that I also spend more time looking at the things posted by other Tweeters. I have linked to other people writing about food and drink, major newspapers, art museums (I love art), and book sites. Now that all the links (or the majority anyway) are for sites that I would normally visit, and I am finding more people with the same tastes, I really do use it and like Twitter more! It took quite awhile for me to be convinced, but I finally see its value!

Hello, Me too, could not just understand the point of twitter but when I read the news article interview of its founder, Jack Dorsey, I began to appreciate twitter and understood some of its complexities and the main purpose.

Hi Jlamela, I dont have twitter account and all my friends do not have Twitter account as well. I think Twitter is popular in some regions, and with certain age group. Certainly not popular with working adults of my age group in my country. As least I can find some people with Facebook or blogs among my contact.

Twitter is not also popular in the country I lived with, in fact none of my close friends have twitter account so I find it very hard to connect with them through this social networking site. But I maintained an account with Twitter because I want to check some tips from writers all over the world which I followed. I also followed Queen Rania of Jordan and Sarah Brown of the United Kingdom, I love reading their tweets.

Just like me, I have an account on twitter but I've not really used the site because I don't understand it at all. I've tried to understand it and I hear people talking about twitter favorably all the time, but I've just never really been able to grasp it. I guess all in all it is okay though because I have facebook and I use that all the time. I don't really think that I need to have multiple social networking websites going on at the same time.

most of my friends in real life are not into twitter. i still use it though for fun, share ideas with other and it can actually be used to earn money. I already earned few dollars from it.
