The inevitable post.

It had to happen sooner or later. Having to sustain a blog on social media without mentioning it at least once is just crazy! - Especially if you're me. So here it goes: Twitter.

Whether you love it or love to hate it, there’s no denying that this website is something special. With over five million registered users, a number that’s continually on the increase, accessing the service to answer the simple question “What are you doing?” Twitter is “without a doubt the best way to share and discover what is happening right now.”

According to the great Google, Wikipedia and Gigaom are the top two places to get a brief historical overview of the microblogging website phenomenon. They can tell you who started it, where, when and how by using words, which is cool, but slightly boring. This does it so much better:
It has been referred to as being an annoying, complete waste of time, for self absorbed people looking for an outlet on countless occasions which indeed it may be. However, there are some useful aspects to this site. Businesses have the opportunity to get themselves known to over five million people. Political parties can do the same thing, and with a lot of free time, no social life, friends or family, so can you!
