#tweeting #AllDayEveryDay
Hey everyone...I'm back! 
Now, before I start ranting on, I just want to inform you guys that I do use Twitter…. A lot, and I’m of those people that tend to tweet a lot when they’re bored.
· Founders : Evan Williams, Biz Stone and jack Dorsey
· Evan Williams created blogger, which we are using now
· Google bought it, and Evan was working for Google
· Evan and a Google employee, Biz Stone, left Google for a new company called Odeo.
· One of Odeo’s projects was Twitter
· Stone and Williams bought out Odeo and Twitter and called it Obvious Corporation
· Jack Dorsey came along, and helped made Twitter into what it is today
· In March 2006, Twitter split from Obvious Corporation and became its own company: Twitter incorporated. (How Stuff Work)
Now, Twitter is used by over 200 million people, celebrity and your normal, average joes. It lets you update your “status” in 140 characters and let your followers know what you’re doing when you tweet it. You can follow all sorts of people, and keep in touch with others. Because Twitter has a mobile site and app, smartphones can now use it on the go, or just put in their numbers to receive tweets via-mobile.
Now, there are some issues concerning your privacy when using Twitter:
1. People know what you are doing, when you’re doing it when you tweet about it.
2. It’s more open than Facebook, meaning that if someone decided to Google you, you’d probably show up.
3. Your tweets show up to anyone who is following you, and sometimes, even to people who aren’t following you.
4. Linking up your Twitter account with your Facebook account, not a good idea.
There are some ways to avoid these disasters:
1. When tweeting, you don’t have to tweet every 5 seconds letting the whole world know what where you are and what you’re doing at the exact instant. You could tweet at the beginning of each hour, or every 30 minutes for Twitter addicts.
2. Don’t put all your information out there. Not everyone needs to know what kind of toilet paper you’re using, your address or how many pillows you have in your room.
3. Change your privacy settings to “Protected” so that if someone decides to follow you, they have to be approved by you. If you decide to hate on someone who has a Twitter account, best way to avoid it, would be not to hate on anyone.
4. Sometimes, linking two accounts for two very different social networks might not be good idea, unless you want to be hit by a break. Let’s say you linked your Facebook with Twitter, and you were watching a game, or some sort of tv show. Obviously, you’re going to tweet every 5 seconds, which will annoy everyone on Facebook and will result in having your face being hit by a brick. (Avoid Disasters on Twitter)
Well, Thanks again for reading my blog, hope you use these tips someday in the near or distant future J
