Twitter is a free micro-blogging platform. With a worldwide traffic rank of 29 and improving, it is the next big craze on the internet. It was hardly noticed till the end of 2008 since its creation in 2006. Even I signed up long ago but had difficulty understanding the concept. But now even I catched the twitter flu.
Anyways, my views hardly matters on this topic. There are already lot of them out there. Just want to share few add-ons, videos etc. about twitter. I am still a newbie on twitter, so nothing hi-tech here.

3 Twitter Manners you should follow :
- Don’t be too Noisy. Don’t post unnecessary things. Just imagine how it feels someone posting 15 messages a day with 13 of them telling how s/he feels at the moment.
- Don’t use twitter Primarily for Business or Marketing. People don’t like someone throwing their product once every day on them.
- Choose your friends wisely. Don’t follow too many users just to burst your following. This method works to increase your followers, but ultimately you may miss out some important friends updates (which is the main point of having a twitter account).
