When I first started twitter, I didn’t get it at first, but as time goes along, you’ll start to like it more. It does take a long while to get used to it. A lot of people would join twitter, then they quit using it right away ’cause they find it boring to them. I’ve gotten to liking twitter more and more.

Here are 5 reasons why it can be cool:

1. You can interact with people on a personal level: I’m finding that people in twitter can actually be pretty cool. There are friendly people in there. You don’t just have to go on there to promote your careers or whatever, you can go on there and interact with people. It’s a little different than facebook. You can use twitter to speak your mind in just a small sentence or two. Even though speaking your mind will be short and brief, it can go straight to the point and people will get it. If you want to make twitter fun and not boring, that’s your job. You have to make it interesting. If you make your twitter interesting, random people will like what they see and more will follow you. 
2. The celebrities and famous people keep it addicting:  I also like twitter because of the famous people and celebrities that use it. A lot of you would accuse them of not being real, but there are real celebrities using twitter. They prove it by verifying their accounts, linking their twitter pages to their official sites, and they also prove it by posting photos and videos. Some celebrities are on there to promote their careers only, but some interact with their fans on a personal level. You can get responses & follow backs by celebrities if somehow you can grab their attention. It’s hard to grab a celeb’s attention since they get so many followers, but if you’re lucky enough, you could get a response.
3. It’s easier to fight spam bots and fake accounts – Facebook makes it hard to fight spam but twitter makes it easier. You don’t have to worry about that stuff there. I can tell what’s fake and what’s real.
4. You can use it to get trending news faster – They’re a great source for breaking news. When something big happens in the news, the trending topics in twitter will help that.
5. You can use it to get exclusive news from the entertainment industry – Twitter can be useful for good info that goes on in the entertainment world. Celebrities are always giving exclusive news when they have something to announce, a lot of them announce their stuff in twitter first. Then the press will pick it up later. Why do celebs use twitter first to announce news? Because the answer is simple, it’s much faster to get out to the press than facebook. That’s what twitter is used for. It’s for people with big careers in the professional industry, but the site can be used for non-famous people like me, though.

My only gripe with twitter is that I can’t stand the Justin Bieber obsession. Other than that, twitter is a cool site to use.
