Twitter is nothing but a free social
networking utility which enables us to stay connected. This social
messaging network and micro blogging is the ingenious idea of a Cornell
student and this enables the users to send as well as read the updates
of other users and these updates are referred to as tweets. Tweets are
updates which have about 140 characters in them. Updates are text based
and are displayed on the profile page of the user's and it is sent to
the user's who have registered themselves into this social networking
site. The users who have signed up for this service can restrict the
delivery of their updates and can ensure that it is received by only
those users whom they want to send it to. Users can take the service of
the Twitter website to send and receive tweets. This particular service
is free of cost.
Twitter uses a language of its own, the messages typed are called as
tweets and the people who use this service are known as twits. Twitter
has been recognized worldwide and is very popular. Twitter is popularly
known as the SMS of the internet.
The internet has become an extremely important part of our life. We
seem to be totally dependent on it, in other words it has become
indispensable in our life. We get a paramount of information from this.
Sites like Wikipedia seem to be an ocean of information. Today's
children are totally dependent on Wikipedia for gathering all their
information because it is a lot more easier to look up the net than
going through various books since in the net all the information are
available at one place. The schools too are taking paramount interest
in teaching the children about Wikipedia, Twitter and pod cast. The
school curriculum which has been put forth wants the children to be
clued up regarding Wikipedia, Twitter, blogging and podcasts by the
time they enter into their secondary education. These are good sources
for gathering information and also for communication.
The new proposed curriculum will allow teachers more freedom and the
very word study will hold more charm for the children. It is going to
do away with the traditional method of teaching or rather making the
children cram up all the geographical, historical and scientific
knowledge. It will lay emphasis on chronology of history, mental
arithmetic and phonic sounds but at the same time give emphasis on
internet skills and greater knowledge about our environment. Twitter
wiki program are for free and can be downloaded from the net.
It is the cheapest way in which you can keep your social networking and
messaging alive. The people who are using it are totally in love with
it.
