To Tweet or not to Tweet

After hearing so much about Twitter in classes and even in the news I decided to make an account and use it for my job. I work at a new media company called Cubico Media where we publish articles for streaming on multiple platforms in the areas of fashion, lifestyle and entertainment.

When I created the account I started playing around with the different features and the idea of micro blogging really appealed to me. As a writer I am constantly trying to "write tight" and with only 140 characters to work with, Twitter forces you to be concise.

I can really see how Twitter is making an impact on people and businesses. As a new media company we can tweet about what we are working on and connect with others who might be interested in reading or watching what we produce.

My first hour on Twitter proved to be a success. In that short amount of time I accumulated a few followers. Today I think we have over 70 people or so following us. I am anxious to see how Twitter changes over the next few months. I expect that like Facebook, or any other social media outlets, Twitter will continue to evolve.

It's interesting, when you really think about it, we are watching the birth of these tools but my future children will not know a world without these applications or the many tools to come in the next few months and years. Scary.
