I call Twitter "The Mother of all Apps because though keeping up with Social media is hard, Twitter is harder on a deeper level. The struggle on those "streets" are real and that's why the information in this book is timely and extremely relevant. When I saw that title, I knew this one was a must-read, so I set my fears aside and dived in. You should too! That said, Thank you Jerry Doubles for taking the Struggle and making it so simple!

Introduction
Twitter (/twtr/) is an American microblogging and social networking service on which users post and interact with messages known as "tweets". Registered users can post, like, and retweet tweets, but unregistered users can only read them. Users access Twitter through its website interface, through Short Message Service (SMS) or its mobile-device application software ("app"). Twitter, Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, and has more than 25 offices around the world. Tweets were originally restricted to 140 characters, but was doubled to 280 for non-CJK languages in November 2017. Audio and video tweets remain limited to 140 seconds for most accounts. Twitter was created by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams in March 2006 and launched in July of that year. By 2012, more than 100 million users posted 340 million tweets a day, and the service handled an average of 1.6 billion search queries per day. In 2013, it was one of the ten most-visited websites and has been described as "the SMS of the Internet". As of 2018, Twitter had more than 321 million monthly active users. (Source: Wikipedia )
As social media becomes more and more ingrained in our daily lives, its easy to relate each platform to our physical environments. LinkedIn, for example, is the office: a professional landscape we use for networking, sharing news, and connecting with coworkers. Facebook is your living room, where you catch up with friends (but still guard your privacy). And Twitter? Well, Twitter is the bar scene, where people let loose and talk to strangers, drop one-liners (or pick-up lines), and engage with personalities from all walks of life.
It is this bar-like atmosphere that makes Twitter the ultimate platform for customer engagement, and for the same reason why Twitter is the ideal social network for marketers: Twitter is the only social network where brands and consumers have an even playing field and unrestricted lines of clear, concise communication.
What else makes Twitter the best platform for engagement? Lets start with audience diversity. Twitter not only attracts a unique audience, but it makes your desired audience easy to pinpoint. Characteristics and interests are easy to discern not only through profiles, but through tweets, retweets, hashtags, etc. that the individual shares. As we all know, in order to engage with someone, you have to be engagingto be relevantand Twitter helps us identify who we should engage with.
Finally, Twitter provides a user-friendly interface thats primed for engagement and 1:1 communication. BrightEdge CEO and founder Jim Yu puts it like this:
The micro-blogging site [Twitter] is excellent for real-time engagement with consumers. On Twitter, marketers can share the latest news in a quick snapshot message, allowing information to be shared instantly while offering fodder for thought-provoking conversations. When it comes to mobile, Twitters simple interface is ideal for engagement on the go that can reach hundreds of thousands of followers immediately.

WHY IS TWITTER SPECIAL?
We all know that Twitter is a household name when it comes to social media, but just why is it so special? What makes this social media platform the success it is? Im a huge fan, and therefore hugely biased, user and supporter of Twitter, and there are over 200 million other active users.
These are just a few of the ways that Twitter differs from other social platforms and why I think its poised for ongoing success.
Twitter As an Everyday News Source
Twitter is quickly becoming an important source of information about events as they happen around the world. Many political analysts have attributed the spread of the Arab Spring to Twitter. And according to Outside the Beltway, the news of Osama bin Ladens death hit Twitter before newscasters shared it, coming a full hour before the President addressed the nation.
