INSTANT and brief are the characteristics of Twitter that help push news dissemination to greater heights.
With a word limit of 140 characters, a Twitter user (known as “Twitterer”) shares messages (“tweets”) with his or her subscribers, or “followers”.
Convenient wireless Internet connections also make it easier for people to receive updates on their mobile phones or other devices on the go.
Recently, various organisations and companies, be it governmental or non-governmental, have jumped on the bandwagon to distribute information through Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/) not forgetting politicians, too, who tweet about their schedules and thoughts.
