Twitter, was founded by Software Engineer Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams in March 2006 (launched publicly in July 2006). Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to post their latest updates 140 characters-at-a-time.
In short, an update is limited by 140 characters and can be posted through three methods: web form, text message to you mobile device, or instant message.
Twitter has become many different things to many different people. So, Twitterers of The World Unite on Twitter140 Characters-At-A-Time
Do you have a Twitter related dependency?
CEO Evan Williams and Biz Stone interviewed
You know you are addicted to Twitter when:
- You went to a Tweet Up but had nothing to say to the people you met. And then immediately tweeted them about it.
- You miss ‘Fail Whale’ days.
- In an emergency, you tweet to @911.
- ‘Hash Browns’ is your favourite new in joke.
- You were served court papers on Twitter because you no longer use Face Book.
- You are jealous of anyone who has more followers than you.
- You tweet your partner to turn out the light. When you’re both in bed.
- Your mother gets a Twitter account just so she can ask if you’re coming home for Christmas.
- You keep tweeting to your favourite celebrity in the forlorn hope they reply.
- You get upset if no one selects you for #followfriday. So tweet yourself from another account.
The bullet points were taken from an article from TwiTip by James of The Optimus Prime Experiment.
If you nodded your head in self recognition several times as you read the list, you defiantly might be in need of help. What should you do if you suffer from twitter addiction?
