Twitter for Immigrants
“Well, anyone who uses Twitter on a regular
basis will tell you that the power of the tool is
not so much in its content, but in its ability to
connect you to other people. The same
applies of course to any other social
networking tool, but unlike Facebook for
example, Twitter contains very few
distractions. It's stripped down and very
simple. There are no frivolous food fights,
'poking' or third party games such as
Farmville contained within its wrapper.
Twitter quite simply connects you with
people who are interesting, informative or
humorous. ”
