Twitter ( http://www.twitter.com ) is one of the top social media micro-blogging sites out there. It just allow the user to post a 140 characters long tweet or post. But the site is used by almost everyone, big companies, political leader [even Obama is there], celebrites, bloggers...etc. What made twitter so famous? What is the special thing which make it special from other sites social networking sites?

Yes, as a social network micro-blogging website, Twitter is becoming more and more popular.
In my opinion, Twitter is popular just because:
1.You can follow your favorite celebrities there and gain the latest information about them;
2.Twitter makes you feel like you are a part of something greater than yourself;
3.It’s easier to get Twitter followers than it is to get Blog newsfeed subscribers.
4.You can get the latest information at the first time with a easy way.
5.It is not a waste of time for it is so easy to use.
Compared with another popular social networking site, Facebook, Twitter is an easier one.
