Friendster is so 90's. Facebook is on its way out. Hello Twitter!Yes. Twitter is now the social media network to beat. And what's not to like? It's mobile, unabashedly in-your-face, and soooo way up in the star cool meter. Anyone who is someone in Tinseltown-local or Hollywood-is a Twitter!
Of course, I still have to maintain my Facebook account coz not everyone I know is a Twitter. I really can't blame them coz FB has so many cool apps and most of them can be best enjoyed via a desktop. Twitter, on the other hand, is basically a mobile social media network and its main thrust is to update everyone you know on what you are doing at the moment. It's easy to see why so many celebrities are hooked coz they can easily inform their fans (and the media vultures too!) of their daily activities.
But Twitter is more than the celebrity glitz. The network also boasts of other netizens like media channels (CNN, New York Times, ABS-CBN, etc), advocacy groups, special interest organizations, etc. All you have to do is choose which to follow (that's Twitter lingo for subscribe) and you're on your way to Twitterlandia.
Twitter is about the power of being informed. And I think that's what the Internet is for. If it ain't on Twitter, it ain't on the loop.
