Twitter (3)

Perhaps it was the idea of a blog. Evan Williams, founder of blogger.com, created Twitter. Like blogs, Twitter is also a tool for solving topic problems, but it provides several unique features:

The first is short. Each Twitter article has only one text message and 140 characters, which makes writing and reading simple and greatly relieves the difficulties of bloggers and readers, this makes frequent sending possible.

Second, it is timely. It is also because short processing of Twitter on mobile devices is possible, so sending and receiving become simple and timely, facilitating exchange of ideas at any time. The essence of Twitter is "I am doing this, now you can talk to me about this", fast delivery and reply, so that the success rate of the topic is higher.

Again, the Association is enhanced, and users can get the status of the other Party through mutual follow in a timely manner. Through the follow function, Twitter connects readers and blogs, which can be achieved through external tools such as browser favorites in the blog system. (Of course, blogs are also making progress. For example, blogger now provides features similar to follow .) In addition, Twitter also provides simple reply functions and retweet for further dissemination. However, in my heart, if there is a topic, Im can take over the communication.

Some people think that the biggest problem with Twitter is the lack of information filtering, which should provide the function of selectively sending information to a specific group or filtering recipients based on a specific topic, so that a large amount of content is generated when there are enough follow users. However, all features of Twitter are based on its simplicity and quickness. Once the above mentioned functions are implemented, the sending cost will increase, and the timeliness and association will decrease accordingly, this is probably the real dilemma of Twitter.

In addition, Twitter still has some unsolved problems. For example, due to the relationship between communication companies, it is not possible to send and receive text messages in China, but it must use clients or webpages, there may also be people who may not want to expose their own ideas, or those who do not want to be follow will still affect communication. However, tools are only auxiliary tools and cannot replace the use of social media subjects,

The conclusion is that tools are used to reduce costs, but the final decision of communication lies in people. If you do not have the desire to communicate, the cost of any tools is intolerable. Otherwise, select a relatively useful tool ;)
