Ever heard of Twitter? It is described as microblogging service, which actually means you can write what you are doing, can catch other’s eyes on pages, videos, pictures or just inspiring words. While you do this any of your followers will immediate recieve (read) your latest updates and they can also share their thoughts about it in a direct reply to you.

Don’t you think this will totally fit in an IMVU Developer’s developing process to announce latest adds and modifies to the own catalog? A lot of companies are using Twitter to keep their “followers” up to date with latest changes, improvements and releases. And yes… IMVU is one of them too (IMVUInc @ Twitter). They just joined the microblogging universum but already got the attention of up to almost 2500 followers within the last three months while also starting their quite new Blog too.

Communication is the success in nowaday life and business.

Please do not mix up Twitter with a chatting tool. There is a big difference. Any message you post *can* be viewed by others *unless* you write them explicitly private (= direct messages). A message must not contain more than 140 characters and contain links of course. The links usually are shorted by shorturl services (e.g. famous tinyurl.com). To catch someones else eyes on your tweet you have to mention their names in it. For example you would write @imvustars (yes we have an account too!) to catch our eyes on your tweet.

Often people who send tweets are using hastags to categorize the tweets in some ways. This makes it easier for others who use (for example) the Twitter Search to find related tweets about a topic. Hashtags will be written in this way: #hash #tags. Some hashtags might get into the Top ones if mentioned a lot of times in a lot of tweets in a short and long time.

If you want to know more about Twitter you should read the related Wikipedia article.
