Why Twitter?

4-5 months ago ,I used twitter for like 2 days - got pissed off - voluntarily deleted my account, but only to join Twitter back after a week. Twitter is very powerful - its faster than the media. If you ask me - why Twitter ? - then you also need to ask an extra question - why blog ?

Infact i like Twitter very much - that i have no reason to write a blog.

Evan Williams talk on Twitter must lighten the minds of many people who still seem to have a misconception about it. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/evan_williams_on_listening_to_twitter_users.html

With search available on Twitter , its not just following/listening to a group - it allows you to know what the whole world thinks about a buzz word...
eg:http://twitter.com/#search?q=wolverine

Applications like TweetDeck provide this search option with results rendered in a beautifully engineered adobe air application . So just set a buzz word that you are interested and see what the whole world says.
