Who gives a Hoot???

This could very possibly be the very last blog post I ever write! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh 😦

But today we set up a twitter account. Twitter is a  s a website, owned and operated by Twitter Inc., which offers a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user’s profile page.

he website is based in San Francisco. Twitter also has servers and offices in San Antonio and Boston. Twitter, Inc. was originally incorporated in California, but as of 2011 is incorporated in Delaware.

Twitter was produced in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey and launched in July. Since then Twitter has gained popularity worldwide and is estimated to have 200 million users, generating 200 million tweets a day and handling over 1.6 billion search queries per day. It is sometimes described as the “SMS of the Internet“.

We also set up a Hootsuite account. HootSuite is a social media communications dashboard often used for online brand management. It publishes to websites such asFacebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, MySpace, and WordPress. It is also a Twitter client. But I didn’t really get the point of it.
