Twitter Twitter Twitter all over

No other invention other the iPod has created so much buzz like the way Twitter is doing. Twitter is the social networking and micro blogging service which lets user to share upto 140 chars on their posts. There are hundreds of blogging sites and social networking sites but whats the drawback...sometimes bigger is not better. People of plantet earth in 21st century are craving for information...which is readable. "Britney comes to NY on so and so" is exactly the information needed, no more details, there are other services to get details. I was wary of the Twitter in the beginning certainly because of the hoopla surrounded around it by the media, two latest incidents stuck me, one in London where protestors of G20 summit used Twitter to organize the protest(its still being debated on how far its successful) and Twitter search to find real time queries. A couple of months back Twitter was valued at $250 million and now as of yesterday Google is trying to acquire them for about a billion bucks. A billion bucks for a service stated less 3 years back? it should be one hell of a service!
