Playing with Twitter

October 25, 2008 · by Loden Jinpa · News 

For those of you that know what Twitter is, I have just started to give it a go after many people suggesting I give it a try. My account is here https://twitter.com/lodenjinpa

What is twitter?

via wikipedia: Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.

Updates are displayed on the user’s profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS, email or through an application such as Twitterrific or Facebook. For SMS, four gateway numbers are currently available: short codes for the United States, Canada, and India, as well as a United Kingdom-based number for international use. Several third parties offer posting and receiving updates via email.

As of October 2008, Twitter claims to have over 3,200,000 accounts registered.
