Twitter Rules

Yes,It does. Twitter is now ruling the web by asking a simple question-"What are you doing?".Twitter believes that constraint inspires creativity.The 140 character constraint has really done that.

Twitter has some rules.Twitter does not allow any kind of html tags in the 140 characters.However,links to other websites are shown in the tweets.There is also a limit on this.The url will be converted to a small url if the link is more than 30 characters in length.The url is shortened by using tinyurl or bit.ly.You are also free to use these great applications for shortening the URL's or to hide the original URL's.

Twitter does not allow you to post pictures directly in the tweets.You can post URL's of the pics uploaded on any website while most of the Twitterers use twitpic.Twitpic is a third party application and is not a part of Twitter.

You can send replies to any Tweet or message by a user by appending your message to @username.For example you can reply to me by telling
"@NeoTracks Thanks for the Twitter post".You can search all the replies to you in your home page once you login into twitter.

You can also send a Direct message to a user by appending the message after D username.For example, you can send a direct message to me by typing "D NeoTracks Are you meeting me today?".Direct messages do not appear in your tweets.This message is sent only to the user you have specified.They get delivered to the users device if any.


Below the Tweets you can see the text like posted from web,posted through text,.etc.After Twitter has become a powerful application,there are many applications developed for using Twitter on many devices.Thus twitter can be posted from the web or by text messaging or by any other application that uses Twitter API.

As this is the first post concerning Twitter in my blog,I ask -did u ever Tweet?





Twitter is a social application that allows its users to keep in touch with their friends and fans in a great way. Twitter allows its user to post any number of messages the user wants,but each message should not be more than 140 characters.That may sound a little bit wierd to those who didn't knew about it earlier,but posting such short messages will have the user hit the exact target.While blogging WAS the best way to keep in touch with friends and fans,it is a pretty tedious process in these busy days for celebrities to write big posts and maintain their blogs.Twitter makes it simple,you just publish anything in a simple manner and easy for others to know.Twitter can most of the times be referred to a Micro Blog.

If you haven't started Twitting or Twittering-whatever you call it-go start Twittering and you can also follow me here.With twitter you can follow your favourite people and reply to their Tweets.Go get your username before some one will get the one you desire.

It is not only the basic Idea of Twittering that has made it a very popular and powerful application.It is also the interface of the website.The website is awesomely simple with a good design,the most happiest part being that you don't need to reload the page everytime you or someone else whom you follow Tweets.If you have not tried using Twitter search,you might never know that Twitter also suggests the number of Tweets that have come related to your search after the search result has been displayed.

Just sit back at home and keep tweeting all the time.If you have internet connected to your mobile,you can tweet on the go with many Twitter Applications available.Twitter also sends first 250 updates of the people you follow by SMS if you regsiter your mobile device with twitter.

Twitter was built on an open source web applicaton framework called Ruby on Rails.Ruby on Rails uses the Ruby programming language.
