Awww, so tweet!

As we welcome the new year of the Tiger, there's nothing wrong to look back at last year and all it's happenings.

Last year was supposed to be the year of the Ox. But instead it turned out to be the year of the Bird. Yes, the Twitter bird.

For you who have not even tried Twitter yet, well, shame on you.

For you who don't even know Twitter yet until now, then we can tolerate you don't worry. You must be spending your time in the prison last year.

Twitter has truly eclipsed Facebook as the "IN" social site currently.
The word "follow" and "retweet" are already household names by now.
It is somehow ironic that honestly Facebook can say that Twitter is not any better than them. It is even a few steps back from their super social and interactive world, considering you can only send 140 letters message to the screen to show to the world. It's just like updating your status in Facebook without any significant difference!

So why so Tweet?

Well, in the world that is gradually deducing the value of privacy, Twitter seems to be the perfect remedy. You are free to follow anyone you want and decide which ones of your followers are your true friends. In this way, you will keep your privacy completely intact and eliminate all spammers, blackmailers, and all the crap stuffs in the IT world.

And also, the Star quality in Twitter is a main attraction for people to tweet regularly.
They can follow Barack Obama, Ryan Seacrest, Lady Gaga, and all other famous names in the world right now.
And they are all REAL. Not just some jobless guy without anything to do creating a fake account and imitating to be them. That's just lame.

And although you are not directly related to them when you follow them (unless they follow you back-and you must be one damn lucky guy to have them do that), but psychologically, the truth is : we humans will still feel close to others if we regularly hear from them. So just by reading Barack Obama's daily tweets, we can still feel as if we are his close mates and fellow Democrats (they suck bad to be honest, the 'change' never happens).


I think these reasons should push you enough to start Tweeting as a daily activities just like eating and sleeping.
Who knows in a few months, you will see this line below on you account.

BarackObama @edowk thanks dude! See you around!
