Why Use Twitter???

Okay this is a question that has been haunting me since I asked everyone if they wanted to use twitter.com!! They have badges for Your Site and MySpace!! To!!

This is a little tiny site that if you are not familiar with blogging then you are going to learn a few things today. Maybe! Just like any other “Social Website” Twitter is a smaller version of a Weblog. In a way. You can get a free account with Twitter and that is reason enough to go there and sign up. With your new Twitter account you can post short messages about what you are doing in your life, game, daily activities, and so on and so forth. ::ALERT:: NOT TO MENTION ::ALERT:: it will keep the game from having to be worked on all the time by the creators having to clean up caches filled with garble instead of normal game play and that means FASTER play for us with Less Down Time!!!

Here’s where it comes in handy for me and some of the Mobsters and Heroes, and any other APPS that we play on MySpace! This Twitter board refreshes in real time. You type a message, everyone that is following you gets an update.

How is this helpful? Well, every post you put on there, (bulletin to your Mob, Guild, etc.) does not cost you $$$$$. I know some of you have been there when that $1550 would have made the difference between if you could get 4 more $1,000,000 properties that pay out $10,000 each or 5 more.

Another benefit, especially for someone like myself, is that I can easily and quickly go through my past messages sent by the game and see who beat me and who did not and I can get on the ones that did not to have them join us or be defeated so I Can get some more $$$ to buy more properties, so I can have more money so I can buy more equipment, so I can beat more players, so I can get more money so I can ….. you get the point. LOL

Keep this in mind when youa re posting all of your activities on the Games Boards, Thee is a reason that it costs money. So you won’t use it like its a chat room. Posting on those message boards only slows down the game, for everyone. It’s built on a Java platform so everything slows it down.

I’m not saying that you HAVE to use Twitter. Your grown up so do whatever you want to! I’m simply making a suggestion so that thee is a history of events for us all to read in our own time privately or however we do it. I personally get the updates on my iPhone with Twitterific and Twinkle. Apps for the iPhone that do cool things! You can use Twitter with almost any mobile carrier, and I am almost 100% sure that there is a link on the sign up process and the home page after you sign up that offers the free updates by phone.

So WHY Twitter.com

1. It’s Free to Post as Often as You Like
2. You don’t need a license to drive Twitter
3. All your friends are doing it
4. Mobile Updates for FREE, and mobile POSTING for free!!
5. Cat like reflexes let you update your Guild, Mob in REAL TIME
6. You can customize your page with backgrounds and colors, and it’s easy to do
7. PLUS Private accounts Made Even Easier on Twitter
8. Also … Get updates through RSS (Really Simple Syndication - Google it if you don’t know what that is)

Twitter.com will help us to keep the boards clear and the game running faster and better and we will still be able to see the goings ons of everyone in our Guilds that need help or have something to say or just want to post the daily, hourly, Add List, Train!! LOL

There are chat rooms and messenger and what not but I suggested twitter because it’s free, it looks good, it updates in real time, and you can Follow everyone else in your group and they can follow you. AND the posts are there for you to delete and redo and keep track of for as long as you want them there. Want to add to the ADD Train? Delete the old one and post the new one ON TOP of everything else so that it is the MOST visible! Then you know everything that is going on in your circle with up to the minute updates. It’s that easy!!

Enjoy Twitter and get your own account today! Then post it on your My Stats Page and everyone can follow you to VICTORY!!!!

Erns Tweets…. Heroes … Mobsters
