In the recent months I’ve noticed an Amateur Radio explosion on the Internet. It’s not the same as we’ve seen before with the QRZ forums or eHam.net or even Echolink. Those are great services and are still around today, but new sites like Twitter.com, 73s.org, HamBrief.tv are on the forefront of this new interactivity.
Twitter.com is a free “social networking” and “micro-blogging” service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. Some even call it “micro-messaging” which is more the way I think of it.
Based on “Following” principle, you follow people you know or find interesting and then people follow you.
Uses:
1. keep up with friends
2. news aggregation/discovery
3. blog integration
4. Conversations; with the use of @ followed by user name.
How you interact:
1. Web
2. Desktop
3. Mobile (Web/Clients)
4. SMS
Web Explained:
Web is where it began, use the web to create your account customize your profile page. Use it to keep up with your friends.
