Twitter is a phenomenon. Starting out no one believed it could be this big, or this useful. Today twitter can be used from gathering latest news to keeping in touch with friends. It has saved lives and brought help where needed. At first sight what looks like chaos has a pattern to the chaos, you just need to find it (something like The Matrix :) ).
Twitter is a brilliant marketing and research tool too. It’s a way for authors to reach out to their audience to see what they like, converse with them and also make sales.
