Everyone is talking about Twitter, but what exactly is it? Twitter is a social networking website that allows users to read "tweets." These tweets are text like updates, if you’re an avid Facebook user it would be like your status update. Tweets are sent to everyone who has signed up to receive your tweets, or to a specific circle of friends.
Twitter was founded back in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams but has been gaining popularity quickly over the last 2 months. With news pieces done on shows like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, NBC Nightly News, and even showing up in comic strip Doonesbury it is no wonder why this site is rapidly gaining new members.
Twitter isn’t just used to know what your friends are up to, businesses have started using Twitter to help with marketing research. "In the past, companies would hire a market research firm to understand their audience," says Mike Hudack, CEO of Blip.tv, a New York-based video website.
"Now we use Twitter to get the fastest, most honest research any company ever heard — the good, bad and ugly — and it doesn't cost a cent," he says.
