Twitter: What are you doing?

It was in one of my journalism classes that I learned about Twitter. Among those fancy, informational Web sites introduced in class which most people don’t know about, I found Twitter just a little bit more attractive.

Besides the clean and simple layout of the web page, Twitter is just about “What are you doing?”

It’s overall a free service that lets you keep in touch with people using the Web, your phone, or IM.

You sign up for an account to keep your followers updated about what you are doing right now or what happened to you that’s memorable for the day, much like the “what are you doing right now?” function right next to your profile picture on Facebook but more organized.

According to New York Times, Twitter is one of the fastest-growing phenomena on the Internet.

Time Magazine said Twitter is on its way to becoming the next killer application.

Interested in checking it out? Some people already joined the trend.

Barack Obama is now using Twitter. Keep up with his campaign tours.
TCU has launched Twitter to keep students, faculty, alumni and even perspective students stay connected to campus information.
