Twitter in Plain English

May 2nd, 2008 by Michael Kwan

Are you still having a hard time understanding why everyone is going nuts over Twitter? Maybe it would help if someone were to explain the Twitter phenomenon to you in plain English. It would be even better if someone were to put together a video that explained Twitter. They did and here it is.

Blogging has provided one way for the Internet to become more personal and Twitter is just the next natural progression to that. You can learn even more about your fellow bloggers, reach out to them for post ideas, and even utilize Twitter as an excellent networking and marketing tool. I hope the video has cleared things up for you.
