Starting a blog is easy but putting up a post on it seems difficult. Even more difficult to make sure that people read it and for that it has to be interesting. If you are not a celebrity, it is remotely possible that your every day would be eventful. Then what could you write on your blog. <a href=\"en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Microblogging\">Micro-blogging <\/a>comes to your rescue. Twitter has helped people in that.<\/p>\n<p>Thus what is that that people use twitter for:<\/p>\n<p>1.\tKeeping I touch with friends<br \/>\n2.\tUpdating your <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MallikaLA\">status <\/a>message<br \/>\n3.\tFind news<br \/>\n4.\tfor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\">search<br \/>\n<\/a>5.\tfor fun<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has helped people be aware of what is happening with the lives of their friends and business colleagues. Celebrities are using it as a PR exercise to make people understand what a celebrity\u2019s life is like. <\/p>\n<p>Twitter is indeed Value-Adding, but not ultimately disruptive<\/p>\n<p>Twitter is similar to the user &#8220;Status&#8221; features on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\">Facebook<\/a>.  Many features and notifications on Facebook are able to be extended to mobile devices.  Even though Status isn&#8217;t among that group, it could be.  If Facebook were to extend Status to mobile devices it would duplicate the functionality of Twitter within the context of a more robust social networking platform and give it an instant user group of 18 million people.<\/p>\n<p>I bring up Facebook because Twitter faces a wall in the adoption curve between early adopters and the early majority.  The appeal of Twitter isn&#8217;t disruptive enough to convince mainstream technology users to adopt it.  It is limited to the demographic of tech enthusiasts who already use Web 2.0 tools and services.  <\/p>\n<p>Twitter&#8217;s biggest contribution to the development of social technology will not be its widespread adoption, but rather its demonstration of the value and nuances of persistent presence.  The lessons learned from a case study of Twitter can be applied, implemented, observed in other social platforms already in widespread use like Facebook; Myspace etc<\/p>\n<p>The principles of Twitter will surely be absorbed by other platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter has suddenly become a rage in the social networking world.
