Twitter Says:

"Twitter is a privately funded startup with offices in the SoMA neighborhood of San Francisco, CA. Started as a side project in March of 2006, Twitter has grown into a real-time short messaging service that works over multiple networks and devices.

In countries all around the world, people follow the sources most relevant to them and access information via Twitter as it happens—from breaking world news to updates from friends."

Dave Earley Says:

Twitter may be the most populated social site on the net.  Every second tweets go out to friends sharing plans, ideas, goals, and aspirations.  Twitter was initially for some friends to get connected very quickly online, and has grown to include millions of people sharing exactly what they are doing online.  

There is no friends limit on Twitter.  I have seen users with over 50,000 friends.  With so many friends it must be nearly impossible to tell what is going on with practically any one of them at any particular time.  Once a tweet is made it shows up on all of your friends pages so that they can see what you are doing.  However, with something like 50,000 friends, these tweets will continue to move down the list at an incredible rate.  

I make tweets and add friends, but I rarely notice what other people are doing online.  If traffic is what you are looking for, the only real possibility of getting traffic is directly, as backlinks in Twitter happen to be "nofollow", which means you won't be receiving any help from Twitter in order to obtain organic traffic from the search engines.  

There are marketers that promote Twitter as a money making opportunity, but I fail to see it.  In order for most people to actually pay attention to what you are doing, you would have to send out direct messages about your priority tweets.  These messages would end up in your friends inboxes and perhaps they would show up at your website.  

Other than that, Twitter just appears to be a way for people around the world to make a very quick connection online and have some fun doing it.
