Twitter is the next big thing

Facebook was the new Myspace, and now Twitter is the new Facebook. Are you following me? Probably not, but that's OK. Let me just put it this way. Twitter is going to be the next big thing.

It's a keep up, or get out of the way kind of world, and Twitter is what you should be keeping up with now. It's like Facebook, but in real time. You can update your status and set Twitter to send out phone text messages to tell all your friends what you're doing.

I been noticing that more and more people on blogs are using Twitter to communicate with their readers. I've seen Twitter everywhere lately! Since Styledash is always ahead of the game, we even used it during Fashion Week last year.

The phenomenon has been especially popular with people traveling, who might not have time to sit down and write an email to all their friends and family who want to know how he or she is doing. With Twitter, the traveler is able to send out his whereabouts by telling everybody at once, "I'm in Bali, getting a $5.00 massage. Life is good!" When you change your status, those who follow you on the website will receive text messages, if they are set up to do so, with your updates.

Twitter hasn't quite broken into the mainstream yet, but I have a feeling it will soon. The website is continuing to explode in popularity. Time Magazine said, "Twitter is on its way to becoming the next killer app," and I believe them. It's trendy to be on Twitter right now!
