My latest Perky Tweets

Q: What does a blogger do when he doesnt blog?

A: He microblogs!

Not always do you have any thing much to say! Often you have some different things to say and there is nothing common in either of what you want to say to sew it up into an article (or ArTicKle, in my case). So how do you say so many different things without writing a blog post? You tweet!

Twitter is the microblogging platform which has swept the blogging commnunity so much that most bloggers today rarely post a blog! The 140-character limit, at first, seems to be too little, but once you get the hang of it (Read: learn what those wierd acronyms and hashtags mean), you can say several different things as they come to your mind!

If you have been reading my blogposts and feel you'd do with some more whatnonsanz, in smaller doses, do follow me on Twitter!

My Perky Tweets

Twitter has been one microblogging platform where one can post one's thoughts and views about various incidents taking place as they happen. So it isnt surprising to find so many of us bloggers getting on to the Twitter bandwagon and posting their tweets - all of 140 characters, besides of course, reacting to each other's tweets and sharing their blogposts and published articles by providing their links (shortened with the help of url-shortening websites like tinyurl.com or bit.ly

Since many of my blog followers havent yet come on to the Twitter platform yet,
I would like to share some of my recent Perky Tweets and fun Tweets here. I am sure this will prompt readers to follow me on Twitter! My Twitter Id is @gopinathmm
