Top 20 Reasons
The micro-blog component—the ability to share my thoughts and hear other’s thoughts in “real time.”
A chance to laugh with one another. Most Tweets enjoy saying something witty when they Twitter and it keeps us smiling all day long
The feeling that I am connected to a network with the tap of a key
Staying in touch with my friends daily without phone calls and lengthy emails that require responses. Yes, it is somewhat impersonal but, there’s no way I would hear from all these people everyday otherwise.
Sharing prayer requests and praying for others : : : stat
Easier than a chat room and not as annoying and interruptive throughout the day. I can walk away for a bit and catch up on the conversation in 2 minutes whereas a chat usually requires my immediate and focused attention
The occasional “vent” to my friends and people of like mind. I hear theirs as well. Different than venting in a blog or some other permanent vent for the whole world to read.
Fast new info. It happens : : : I hear about it
Getting together—facilitating a place to meet
Knowing where my friends are at all times and being able to visualize them in those places
Banter : : : teasing one another : : : all in fun.
Following people I wouldn’t follow otherwise and feeling like I am making friends in the process
Following my friends’ conversations with people I don’t know but they do.
The 140 character limit on length requires thoughts to be concise
Great for interactive communication in a group setting—put ongoing twitters on screen for all to interact with presentation
Build a network very quick! Get an account and have a large group of people to follow within minutes as opposed to MySpace and other networks
Very easy to access and have open all day (with Twitteriffic especially)
No need to sign in and enter passwords every freaking time you want to check up or post something real quick
Love the feeling that when I see some friends a year from now I will feel like we have been hanging out together on a regular basis
The ability to get quick updates from corporate web sites and blogs I follow on a regular basis
