Thanks for this great forum. This is my first post to the forum and I wonder what you people think.

Why people use Twitter? What motivates people to use Twitter? Any ideas? It’s about news or comments?

Hi welcome to the forums. I'm new here too.
I see no one has answered your question about twitter.
Well people mainly use it to promoe their website or business.
Some people use it to send updates to family and friends but mostly marketers use it to promote something. Usually a sales page for something.
Hope that answeres your question.

Many use Twitter simply because they
enjoy the features of the site. They use
Twitter to promote their business and
earn extra money.

Hello.
According to me people like use Twitter because they like its features very much. Sometimes people use Twitter because they want to promote their web sites and business. People like Twitter because they find their new friends and activities. My friends are using Twitter so much and they always tell about this web site. Now I am also thinking about to register on Twitter.

Hi there welcome to the forum,
Twitter has been used for many reasons. Some use for marketing, some use for social networking to keep up with friends and relatives.
As you know in twitter you can update your status. If you have some follows they will notice it in their home page. If it interests them they will either respond to that using the features or if there was a link they might click it and read what it is about.
This is just the brief about twitter. You need to learn the rest by your self. Practice makes perfect
