I’m a Twitter, He’s a Twitter, She’s A Twitter…

Don’t you want to be a Twitter too?

If you have visited any of the existing social networks, or have you done any blog surfing lately, odds are that you have seen the pretty Blue Twitter Logo, or have heard someone referring to their “tweets”

Twitter is the latest craze in social networking and what is referred to as “micro blogging” Micro because post made to Twitter are limited to 140 characters or less. So what’s so cool about that? Well, the bite sized post or “tweets” as they are called allow to share information quickly, but it is also idea for sharing ideas and information that might not be worth committing to an entire blog or email.

Although we had heard of it we just recently decided to try twitter out (you can follow us @teenpreneurs) So far we have been enjoying it. While some might see Twitter as a distraction, when used properly it can help increase page views, help spread awareness of a project or website or help you keep up to date with friends, family or members of your peer group.

During the next 30 days we will be learning all that we can about using Twitter and seeing if it has any direct result in regards to marketing and traffic. So far though we have found some very good information just by browsing through the most recent tweets, for instance we found a very good post by @jenuienjen titled “Twitter for Dummies” it was informative, and easy to understand. We also discovered a couple of other cool apps to use with Twitter.

The Twitter Tweet Trail (say that five times fast) also led us to a post from the blogging wizard Darren Rowse (@problogger) titled “How To Use Twitter – Tips For Bloggers” We highly recommend you check it out you will find a ton of good stuff there.

We will definitely be revisiting Twitter as we learn more about it, in the meantime here’s Twitter In Plain English:
