Why Twitter is Popular

Did you guys know that in Twitter, there are 200 Million tweets sent each day? This is a huge number right!

It doesn't only show how people are so into tweeting, but it also shows how popular Twitter is.

There are 200 Million plus Twitter users, and each day, it is still growing.

I just can't imagine how my Twitter page would be like if I made one right now. Yes, I do not have a Twitter account, but I will
be making one soon. Very soon.

There are a lot of Social Networking sites today aside from Twitter. But, lately, Twitter is always on top!
 But why is Twitter popular, aside from the Celebrity fights and rants we get to know because of it?

I have been wondering why, and these are some reasons I can share. I hope these are right though :)

1. It makes a Twitter user feel popular.
Twitter users like having a lot of followers. Having an additional follower makes them happy. Twitter makes you feel special because of the followers you gain. It makes you feel like you are a celebrity in your own way due to your followers. The more followers you get, the better right?

2. It's simple to use.
I don't have a Twitter account yet but I have heard that Twitter is very easy to use. Clicking Retweets, and Follow on Twitter is as simple as 1-2-3. You just type what you want to say on the 140 Character Tweet box, and then with a click you're done! Voila! A tweet has been posted!

3. You can follow anyone you like. 
In Twitter, you can follow anyone you like to follow. In other words, you can follow your favorite Celebrities! You will be updated on what they do, or where they are. Nothing would beat getting a tweet or a reply from your favorite celeb right? Fan mode on! :))

4. It is a fast form of communication.
People use twitter because it is fast. Communicating with other people using Twitter is a reason why it's a hit. However the downside of this, people around the world can see what you just tweeted.

5. It's all about YOU.
Everything on your Twitter page is about you. Your thoughts and feelings are shared. It's not all about your friends this time, it's mainly all about you.

No matter who you may be, your Twitter is all about YOU.

6. It is an excellent marketing tool.
With Twitter, your business promotion can spread in seconds than using traditional promotion systems that take so long. It can reach out to as many people as you want to for it can be seen by almost everyone. It's also nice to use this for promotions since it's free.

7. It's loaded with Apps.
Twitter has a lot of apps. An example is Twitpic, which makes you tweet pictures easily, Tweet Later which is time delayed tweeting and #hash tags. This makes twitter popular too, you don't have these on Facebook.

Maybe with these reasons I just figured out, I might as well push through with my plan to make a Twitter account. What do you say?  :)
