In a world dominated by news channels, social networking websites and gadgets, staying in touch or rather staying informed has become everyone’s capability. Whether you may be a sports enthusiast who wants to know all the latest happenings in the sports arena or whether you are a businessman who is looking for the right time to close a deal with his partners, news does come in handy.
Everyone knows about Twitter and its usefulness. Apart from the usual staying in touch twitter enables people to stay informed on the latest that is happenings all around the world. So much so, when MJ died, most Americans came to know of it through twitter. For the people on the other side of the world who were fast asleep twitter made sure that they would get the news of the loss before any newspaper would do so. This news enabled one and all to show solidarity and pay respects to the King of Pop. If it weren’t for Twitter, I'm sure that many people would get the news either if they tuned in to some news channel or someone happened to tell them. Another example was the Mumbai attacks on 26/11 when eyewitnesses sent an estimated 80 tweets every five seconds, helping in compiling a list of the dead and injured.
On a personal level, the best thing I like about twitter is the fact that it enables a person to be constantly in touch with another. It’s something like you're keeping track of every wee bit of info you get about that person. Things like “I’ve just woken up” or “I’m having a bad day” let us know of how the other is doing and what he is going through. By following your favourite bands or celebrities, you cab get the latest info on upcoming albums, movies or gossip. By following people like entrepreneurs, politicians you can get info on how to start and grow your business and the policies that are going to shape your tomorrow. With so many people logging on to twitter nowadays, businesses are taking to twitter to reach out to their customers and gain new ones. They inform their customers of new products, offers and best deals and prices. All this done in a very nice and systematic way rather than those highly glamorous and irritating advertisements which may fail to inform but never fail to irritate.
Another lovely aspect of twitter is that it’s somewhat synonymous to a radio. You don’t need to be clinged on to it everytime so as to get the latest. Just keeping it in the background is enough. Whenever you have the time, you can go through it without a worry that you may have missed something. If you get bored of what you are getting you can simply choose to ‘not follow’. In this way the power of choice is in your hands.
