So what exactly is Twitter? Why is there so much of fuss about Twitter now a days. From Barack Obama to Shah Rukh Khan everyone is using Twitter to gain more popularity. My intension to write blog on Twitter is to create awareness in our Pakistani people on how to use Twitter well.

Twitter as you must have heard is a micro blogging website which keeps you updated about the activities of your family and friends. Twitter is a great tool to kill boredom. First you have to make an id on Twitter then what you have to do is to invite or follow some of your family and friends who are there on Twitter, so you can catch up with(known as follow me in Twitter) them with their activities.

When you follow a person you will get news and updates from that particular person in your homepage in Twitter in this way you will know what he/she is up to. Just like status update in Facebook but in Twitter this is limited to 160 characters and this is called Tweet.

Basic purpose of Twitter is to get connected with your friends and family and when people will start following you this will keep them updated about your activities. You can also upload pictures on Twitter by using Twitpic.

Another purpose of Twitter which can be helpful in Pakistan is that it’s an amazing tool when used for marketing. This will keep your clients updated about your new products and will surely increase your sales.

Software for Twitter

Twhirl is amazing software for Twitter. This is a desktop application which settles on your desktop and updates you from latest Tweets from your friends.

TweetDeck is also a very easy software which can be used to keep you updated on your friends Tweets.

This is just a short review on what Twitter is and how it can be used. In Pakistan Twitter is not so very popular but from time to time its gaining popularity. So get your hands on Twitter before its too late.
