There are many text communication digital methods: e-mail, sms, chat, IM, forum, blog. These methods could be classified by who is writing to whom (1 to 1, 1 to n), by time presence, by privacy vs public exposure, and by many other ways. But the Twitter phenomenon is something apart. It started a lifestream continuum where live conversation became the new mantra. The NOW is the answer and so.....
Goggle - Twitter
Google.com has suddenly become the source for pages — not conversations, not the real time web. Google is the past Twitter is the present. During the Hudson landing Twitter was the first source of information. If you want to know what is going on now on the Internet, you ask Twitter not Google. If you want to know what went on on the Internet, you ask Google if you want the pages but you ask Twitter if you want the feelings.
Facebook - Twitter
Facebook is the old way: other you need to ask permission or you have to give permission. Twitter is a open arena: if you want to start a conversation, just make your account public and go on. Everyone can read it and, if he likes, can re tweet it or @replies at it.
Twitter data
Twitter has become a popular pastime for many who like to update their daily thoughts and activities, as well as for the voyeurs who just enjoy reading the tweets. The last data available show these trends.
Twitter used by company
Some see Twitter as an extension of the marketing department; others view it as a customer service tool, and some say it's best for corporate communications. In 2008, several brands established a Twitter presence, including H&R Block, Southwest Airlines, Jet Blue, Dell, and Home Depot, Ford, Dunkin' Donuts, Whole Foods.
