If you are already on Twitter, you are part of the latest trend. The popular microblog is difficult to comprehend, yet simple to master. It’s all about communicating with family, friends and co-workers by sending quick messages in 140 characters or less. Some people may feel reluctant to sign up for an account in the Twitter universe due to stalkers, especially if you’re a part of the entertainment industry. We all know how uncomfortable it feels when people begin acting creepy; you should be extremely careful. Then, of course, you have the Twitter-fearing friends that just don’t get it.
Twitter was co-founded by Evan Williams, now the company’s chief executive, and Biz Stone. Mr. Evan Williams has struck gold once again, with the company valued at $1 billion, according to a report in Techcrunch. It was Evan Williams who developed the prototype for blogging back in the late ‘90s, which became known as Blogger.com. It was sold to Google in 2004.
Unlike Facebook, that is valued at $500 million and has paid ads, Twitter is a mystery to many how it survives without ads. The key to the success of Twitter, besides having the world’s most powerful people signed on as Twitter users, is the fact that the site is the preferred vehicle of communications. As Twitter continues to bring on more users, estimated at over 45 million as of three months ago, the site will attract more revenue opportunities.
You will see messages from pop stars to Average Joes venting out their frustrations. Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Dame Elizabeth Taylor, Pamela Anderson, Joel Madden, Kirstie Alley, Jamie Foxx, Thalia, Ricky Martin and Larry King are just a few of the stars on Twitter. You might even be lucky enough to have followers.
Now here is a good one, if Lady Gaga was to join the Goo Goo Dolls, she would be known as Goo Goo Gaga. Funny!
