The use of Twitter

We probably are a lot to ask the same old question.... Is Twitter of any use? Why is Twitter so successful?
First of all, Twitter is a microblogging service, which means that Twitter users can only write short messages on their account that can't go over 140 characters. This 140 characters limit ensures Twitter that no one else tries to use it for anything else.
A lot of people think it is completely stupid but it is working! The reason for that is because Twitter is another way of telling the world what you are doing.

Many companies have started using Twitter as well but for different purposes. By using the microblogging service their main goals are:
- To develop their network and communicate with their customers.
- Watch what their competitors do.
- Get new clients.
- Drive more traffic to their sites.
- Promote their products or services.


This is only a short list though.
