What’s Twitter all about??? Do you twitter? Are you a twit?
According to Wikipedia (the source of all knowledge- not!),
twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.

I twitter here: http://twitter.com/Mizbo – if you want to see the my rambling thoughts and general musing. My tweets are also shown on this blog, which means that most of them will be work related… however, i can’t always promise that!
The excellent youth marketing web hub mobileyouth has some excellent reflections on twitter here: http://www.mobileyouth.org/post/youth-are-twitting-pretty-twitter-is-sms-20-thanks-to-youth/They say:
From being predominantly the domain of 25-34 year old techs, Twitter has burgeoned into a valid youth platform. Here are some interesting findings:
* Youth twitter usage rapidly adopting similar patterns to SMS usage implications for operator charging, marketing channels, PR abound…
* Under 25s now constitute 25% of twitter usage – the largest single age group
* Japanese youth have rapidly adopted twitter into their daily social activities. Go watch the public Twitter feed and witness how much Japanese content passes through.
* Twitter still has a long way to go to reach the lowest common denominator that made SMS fly but it has the advantage of a core consumer beachhead to play with.
Do your young people TWEET??? Is this a safe area for ministry? What do you think!?
