Twitter: The Bird is The Word!

You have that song stuck in your head yet?

That little ditty is a good example of what being on the social networking site Twitter is like… a repetitious, addictive, short phrased wonder that can either bring total joy or be an utter annoyance.
Something that is certain that Twitter is here and isn’t flying away anytime soon, over the weekend I overheard at least ten conversations out in public that were about Twitter.

It has become more than a trendy, new site but a new way to communicate. Seems like the bird IS the word these days.

It’s better than a mirror. if I ever need a question answered,I usually just ask my twitter friends and someone will have an answer. This works great for food recommendations, job tips, music, you name it someone will have an opinion. I have even seen people post Twitpics from dressing rooms when they can’t decide what to buy.

For example I recently wanted information on the Flip Mino and found tons of people on Twitter search that recommended the Kodak ZI6 instead.
