Twitter focuses on the main question: What are you doing right now? Through twitter you can get to know people a little bit better. You can follow people and it will help you see people in a different way. You might know people for one thing and then when you follow them, you can find similar interests. You can create a friendship and a connection through other people's interest.
When creating an account, it’s a good idea to create a name that will connect to people. Celebrities use names that connect to them, so people can recognize them right away. Some of the people that others follow are professional friends, old friends, groups of people, colleagues, dignitaries, celebrities and musicians. If you are a student under 18, make sure you get your parents' permission to create an account.
