In the last two months Twitter has blown up like your local Mexican restaurant's bathroom. Between Oprah, Ashton Kutcher & CNN, Twitter.com has become mainstream. This can be a good or bad situation depending on your stand point. Today, it's a good thing because it has lead me to review a website that makes you money for "tweeting".
For the twitter challenged, Tweeting basically means participating on twitter.com with short text messages. It's a lot like text messaging a friend but now your friends can end up being a world of people.

I really didn't get the whole concept of Twitter until I jumped in. Honestly, all this talk of following people and tweeting just made me think of groupies or stalkers. I'm pretty shy by nature. (Can't you tell?) So the prospect of yip yapping with strangers just made me feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, where I'm from (The Bronx), you can get into problems yapping with someone you don't know. Despite this, I took the plunge. What I've learned is that Twitter.com is more than a bunch of people babbling about their boring lives. Sure it's a great source of entertainment. Some of these guys could be comedians. But the real value of Twitter.com is the wide range of instant information & networking possibilities it provides. My two passions are technology and making money at home. So for the most part I follow people that tweet about this subject matter & have learned a great deal.
