Blame Twitter or Fame Twitter


It's unbelievable! Everyone seems to be on Twitter. Celebrities, Top Leaders, President, Monks and even service industries are creating the hype in Twitter. Jennifer Aniston ended her relationship with boyfriend, John Mayer (picture, left) because he is obsessed with Twitter. Apparently, Mayer spends hours updating his Twitter and doesn't spend time with her. Celebrity Twit No 2, Ashton Kutcher has delighted his Twitter page followers by posting a revealing picture of his wife Demi Moore. Kutcher and Moore are big fans of Twitter and they use the micro-blogging site to keep fans regularly updated about their relationship. America's new president, Mr Barack Obama also uses Twitter to communicate with his followers. Service industries for example, Dell uses Twitter to communicate with its customers, in other words, attending to immediate queries and receive feedback almost immediately. Buddhist Monks say 'twitter can lead to happiness', I read this interesting article on News Blaze. Lama Sumati Marut helps his followers stay mindful of how to be happy with his free daily "Dharma Twitters." Just three years since the launch of Twitter, it has become phenomenal with its restrictions to type not more than 140 words. According to the report, roughly Twitter's total membership is around 6 million and the number of monthly visitors at 55 million, Compete.com has ranked Twitter as the third largest social network in the world (MySpace is second and Facebook is headed up the list in the number one slot). I think it's amazing how Twitter has interests millions of people but there's also something to think about... with all these new and intriguing online communications, will people stop communicating lesser to one another, just like how my friend shared a joke with me recently: Her colleague who's sitting in front of her, went on Twitter to ask her, "How are you this morning, where shall we go for lunch today?" She was surprised and said, if this was the case, then there could be some day that people might forget talking to each other.
