Twitter, a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send "tweets" or updates to the Twitter website, where updates are instantaneously posted on to the user's profile page and also delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them via SMS, instant messaging and etc.
Personally, I felt that this service is exceptionally useful especially in groups that constantly need to update members within with new information. Simply by logging on, typing in a 140 character length text and clicking update, anyone who is 'following' you will be notified immediately through the means they have chosen to receive updates. Did I also mention that it is FREE?
Imagine this senario:-
In a cell group of 20 people, everyone subscribe to Twitter and is a follower of the rest in the cell group. If there is a message that needs to be passed on to everybody, going through Twitter saves you 20 SMSes. In a month, this method can easily help you save up to 100s of SMSes. Cool right?
Suggested way to implement: -
- Get everyone in the group to create an account with the group's name as initials. For e.g. N363_Desmond or MJ_Desmond
- After the creation of account, start 'following' others in the group.
- Start sending "Tweets"!
