So why do I care about Twitter?

Because it can actually do what most of us want to do. Save you money.

When you follow “tweets” on a company Twitter page, it can do several things. Let customers or potential customers know more about you, and tell them in real-time exactly what is going on now. A good example of how it can also save you money and be found in this story

While more and more companies and people are using this service and it grows at its current rate, I believe we will see it become even more a daily part of our already

“daily use media” lives.

Hours increase on Facebook and Twitter

The latest stats on how much we are using Facebook and Twitter are really no surprise. It is a trend that has gained momentum for some time.

We are spending more time on them, making them the most popular online destination globally. Gaming is right there and so is IM.

Recent Nielsen numbers show a rise in time spent from 3 to 5 hours, and a rise in unique audience. Twitter had 18.1 million unique visitors in December of 09, making them the fastest growing site. Still think it’s a fad? You can see for yourself here.

"Pants on the ground" is a good example

I'm sure you have heard, seen, and probably talked about the latest viral craze. The song "pants on the ground".
The Idol contestant who won't be the next American Idol. His song and story has spread across the web like wild fire. The song has already shown up on the video sites,Twitter has been a blur, and there will be links everywhere. It's a great example of how something can grow, be shared and become a topic through the social media outlets immediately. This is how viral really works.

While the tragedy still unfolds in Haiti, Twitter was and is a major part of communication and news during and after the quake. Texting for Haiti has reportedly already raised two million dollars so far.That's a good thing.

For fun or for good, this is what communication is today. Be a part of it or not, its your choice. If your business that is not involved social media, it may be time for you to think about it a little harder.
