Tweeter is twitter’s interface which permits people to post new tweets and keep their updated status with co-tweeters through the arc of face book. Yes, you require the twitter accounts and various encryptions of your passwords and user names. This helps in setting your tweeter account. Tweeter has many features, few of them sublime when seen in the light of eased up messaging.

Friend’s timeline is a top feature. It updates you with tweets of all your face book pals. Yes, the timeline is cached; this means that though you can look at it during the downtime yet you cannot update yourself at all times. While showing the tweet of a tweeter, it shows the picture profile and also gives link to the person’s face book profile. This aids in better connection and also lets a person log on to a friends’ other face book profiles apart from tweeter.

Various twitter resources enable your tweeter to filter out tweets that you do not want to use. This can be done through expressions or texts. Of course, there has got to be the facility of updating the status each time you tweet. It is quite paramount for the social networking sites and tweeter is no exception.

Use the “since” date for immediately responding to the tweet you want to. Often it so happens that you have to track a person’s message for replying as there is no immediate tweet from his side. This feature helps you in that regard.

Tweeter is good at accepting its weaknesses and hence you can go to “tweeter status” to check when the last time was that tweeter made a successful attempt to get uploaded. Any official downtime is also mentioned. With Tweeter, twitter has added another weapon in its armory. The weapon talks and lets us talk.

Twitter is doing exceptionally well as a micro-blogging site. With some modifications, it will also soar further as a medium of social networking. Yes, it has certain loopholes which need cementing but on other accounts, it is doing rather well. Let’s take up few good, bad, ugly twitter trivia.

In 2007, twitter had a 98 percent uptime. When translated, it comes to a week of cumulative downtime. This is not in keeping with the micro-blogging adventure that has made quite a mark. In fact, twitter got further bad name for itself when the site crashed during the all important MacWorld conference. The ‘fail whale’ message greets the tweeters when there is a crash. The message on display is a dejecting “too many tweets, try again”. In May 2008, the entire technical team of twitter set on the task of implementing certain changes in the infrastructure of twitter to make it stable again, this cut down on active downtime.

Twitter ably marshaled by jack Dorsey till 2007 found one of its key hilarious moments for folklore when jack Dorsey accepting the South by southwest web award for blog said in his speech that “We’d like to thank you in 140 characters or less. And we just did!” For the uninitiated, this humour comes from the fact that Twitter lets users work over a 140 charcter script length. This, by the way, is the largest a micro-blogging site can offer. When you add various emoticons and expressin mediums to it, what you get is plain blogging treat.

Twitter is letting go its Ruby on Rails framework that was supporting its technical structure. Ground is the oft-debated downtime. Twitter will perhaps eke out new twitter resources form Java or PHP, though its present CEO Evan Williams suggested against such shift in his last address.

Twitter blogs are truly shining. The fact that it has expanded so fast goes on to show what kind of following it has amassed over a short period of time. But this micro-blogging site has also got a little jammed with various queries and dilemmas that the users have posted. This is why the success of the social networking site is partially attributable to the highly diligent support staff which has been able to fill the curiosity of many users with glee and efficiency.

Twitter resources and help desk have been running serious back logs as there are too many questions spreading from each corner yet they are doing reasonably well in resting many of such dilemmas.

There are the “Getting Started” and “How to Information” sub categories. These help the users in getting the basics about messaging right. It can also be of a great help if you wish to know the correct way of using emoticons and expressions. It defines the various parameters required for floating a public poll or a forum, creating a niche blog or even using a new twitter resource called tweet which is a face book integrated twitter interface.

Trouble shooting techniques and various terms and policies are also well defined through twitter help desk. Latest information on the twitter blog and any update that has been made very recently are up for grabs in the ever so dynamic page of “important announcements”.

Twitter desk shows you the status of any past, present or future requests that you have made to twitter. The requests are amalgamated into your account and offer you a personal history section through which you can relate to those requests on a later day. Twitter support groups are also neatly diversified for processing your request in a well- channeled way.
