Would you like to tweet this? I thought I would get that out of the way first, as its fast becoming one of the most common questions asked on the internet. If you have posted an article, a blog or anything for the matter, on the World Wide Web in the last 12 months or so it will have been a miracle of some magnitude, if you have not been asked in some way if you would like to "tweet" it!

Unless something even bigger (or perhaps shorter is more accurate) comes along soon, it won't be long until most of us are well versed and immersed into the world of the little blue bird which represents all things Twitter. The bird itself is perhaps a branding logo bigger than anything than has gone before.

Why has Twitter become so huge? Perhaps the mass of celebrities ( Britney Spears, Demi Moore and Stephen Fry to name just a few) that have embraced and then endorsed the Twitter community was a deal sealer? Some of the biggest names from the world of movies, music, sport, entertainment and even politics have been micro blogging to the world, via twitter. That is some serious Tweetage! High profile news stories and scandals on twitter spread quicker than a pandemic of swine flu ever could!

What are the main functions of Twitter? The humble but potentially ever so powerful Tweet is the bread and butter of the community. To the lay person a "tweet" is simply a message you wish to share with others. It could be as simple as wishing someone a good morning, or you may want to share with others something you have found someplace, a breaking news story for example or even promote your latest business deal. The only catch being you must relay that message in no more than 140 characters. When they say micro blogging, they really mean it!

Your Tweet will then be seen by all who have decided to follow them or visitors to your Twitter page. Then comes the Retweet, and this is really where the Twit hits the fan (or the fans hit your tweet!). A retweet is basically someone saying they love your tweet and that they are going to sing it from the rooftops. Perhaps, that's a bit strong but you get the drift. Once someone has retweeted your tweet, then all of their respective followers get to see it as well, and that could be repeated almost indefinitely if you stumble upon the right network of followers.

So, it's easy to see how Twitter is seeping into the very pores of our modern society, its one great big, gossip greenhouse! (Now there's a good name for a twitter beater! How do I copyright it?)

Now go on, Tweet it already!
