How Twitter Will Change Our Lives

Do you find yourself asking "What's the big deal about Twitter"? A recent Time CNN article gave some examples of how the Twitter phenomenon is changing our lives through news and opinions, searching, and advertising. First,Twitter offers real time chatter on any topic imaginable by offering live searches. Since we tend to follow people that we know, trust, or respect, many Twitter users are finding this source of information more reputable than Google searches. Could this be the future way we get our daily news? Second, Twitter is being used as a pointing or link sharing device by pointing to longer articles, posts, videos, websites etc. Twitter is a quick, inexpensive, easy way to market and spread the word. In the next few months, notice how more and more businesses are using Twitter.
