People say Twitter is growing day by day. Twitter is the best web application available etc etc.  Why do people give so much importance to twitter? I think twitter got much attention, because of the campaign held by web masters in favor of it.

When somebody says, you can increase the readership of your blog, just by posting a tweet, won’t you do it? I would take up such an opportunity, because there is nothing to lose. It is free and easy to use. What I don’t understand is, why people send so many tweets a day. Some have more than 1000 tweets a day. When ever they have a thought or feeling, they just feel amused and posts it in twitter. It is a new for of addiction. In India, twitter is not much a favorite. The favorite here is Orkut. I too was an orkut addict, I spent many hours trying to figure out how to browse orkut, from our college, where orkut is blocked. But once I had my own internet connection and no body to block me from browsing Orkut, I lost the thrill and Orkut is no longer an adiction in my case.

Some say, twitter helps in getting close to friends, read new posts from bloggers and so on. But What I think is , twitter is clutterng our thoughts. Being so simple, we are lured to twitter. If twitter helps an introvert to open his mind, or a marketer to get his idea acroos his customers it is doing something worthwhile.But one shouldn’t be adicted to anything, however tempting it maybe.
