The Phenomenon of Twitter
The first dedicated social network was MySpace which allowed individuals to post photos and exchange messages in an online community.
MySpace was an instant hit, but some users had problems with the way the site operated.
MySpace was quickly followed by Facebook which used information from MySpace users to create a site that was easier and more fun to use.
And then entered Twitter which added features like links to cell phones and the ability to send texts to multiple twitter followers which quickly made it the number one social networking site on the web.
Business executives realized the potential of Twitter shortly after its inception.
Short messages called tweets could be sent out simultaneously to multiple users in a network.
A user's network is composed of twitter followers who can be contacted individually or as a group with text messages on their cell phones.
Twitter followers may be friends, business associates or complete strangers.
Individuals and members of the business community can now chose a Twitter app called Twiends which is intended to attract followers.
The Twitter elite are people with the greatest number of Twitter followers and marketers can enlist these individuals to promote their products.
When a twitter follower chooses to follow someone, the members of his network are invited to follow the same person.
