Twitter is a valuable tool for communication. Ashton Kutcher underlined this statement by reaching 1 million followers on his Twitter account and therefore winning the bet with the Cable News Network. But how did Twitter help him to win his bet? What makes Twitter a valuable tool for communication?[1]

First of all, the usability of Twitter is very high because of its rudimentary social networking features. The only thing you have to do to participate in Twitter is to answer the question, ‘What is happening’. That makes it much easier than any other social networking site.[2]

Secondly, Twitter is up to date. The messages you post on Twitter are very concise therefore it doesn’t take much time to post your story. Besides by accepting messages send by sms, web, mobile web, instant message, or from third party API projects, Twitter makes it easy for you to post messages any time you want.

Thirdly, Twitter is very free of character. You don’t have to comment on your friends activities or receive messages if you don’t want to. It is designed as a social network that is easy in its use and suits your needs.

Fourthly, it is really enjoyable to Twitter. You can stay in close contact with your all friends and get to know things about people you might not have found out otherwise.

Thus Twitter is of great value to the way you communicate because it is rudimentary, up to date, free of character and overall enjoyable!
