Many people are beginning to get used to the concept of Twitter, and the usefulness of this new social media platform. However, there are millions of people who really don't see the point of Tweeting about ones-self, or reading someone else's Tweets that do the same. Here are 5 good reasons.


1. Twitter is very simple. It is only 140 characters. This is similar to the news headlines on all major TV networks, or newspapers. Short and to the point CAN get a message across.
2. Twitter allows you to get to know about people. This might be friends and coworkers, or it might be news anchors and national celebrities. Either way, the platform is the same.
3. Twitter will improve your ability to be brief. The greatest writers, and the greatest public speakers are not those who can go on and on for hours, but those who can capture an audience in just a few moments.
4. Twitter will allow you to be current. Up to date news flashes or trending topics about pop culture are all using Twitter as a rapid form of communication. Know your local area's concerns and the global political climate. Use it as a way to be aware of the world you live in.
5. Twitter will help your branding. Just like websites do, a twitter account can set you apart from the "competition." It can allow you to be uniquely you...

Twitter rule #1: Make your own rules.

If someone tells you you’re doing Twitter wrong, feel free to ignore them.
