I am not one to endorse things sporadically, but the merits of social networking site Twitter are far more rewarding than my other website of choice, Facebook. Myspace is not even worth typing; it is so over.
My prime reason for this statement is a very good one: celebrities are on Twitter, and celebrities can sometimes be generous.
My good friend simply happened to be 'tweeting' her praises to a singer who happened to be supporting Ne-Yo...who, incidentally, happened to have two spare tickets to the concert in Birmingham that very night. Ergo, after a few extra taps on the keyboard and a spot of brown-nosing, my friend was rewarded with those very tickets, free of charge!
And, on a much lower scale but equally as satisfying, I won a book of my choice tonight, thanks to tweeting! I joined @ChalkeAuthors because a friend is doing some freelance work for them, there was a competition asking punters to tweet which fictional character they would marry and why, I tweeted, or twat, Atticus Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird fame (if you must know - because he is loyal, honest and needs the love of a good woman... I am aware that this does not altogether separate his qualities from that of a dog, but I had 160 characters to work with)...and I've won a book!
Get twittering, tweeting, twatting - who knows what could be in it for you!?
