Twitter users have been booming recently in Japan. I have been using twitter since last month. Although we have to spend more time if we join Twitter, it is a extremely variable and useful tool to get current information.
Twitter has two significant features compared to mixi or Facebook.First of all, Twitter is like a public journal. It is used a lot by celebrities and companies to attract people who are interested in being up-to-date. For example, in Japan one of the most famous authors Haruki Murakami, popular singer Utada Hikaru and famous tennis player Shuzo Matsuoka and Lang-8 also join Twitter. The second main feature is openness. It means we can access to people more easily.
More importantly, Twitter also has advantages for bilingual people to get current information all over the world because of time differences. If you can read Japanese, you can get up-to-date Japanese information in the morning and you can also get United States information in the afternoon. It means you can correct them for 24 hours.
According to Kenichi Oomae who is famous consultant in Japan, in the 21st century, what they said is more important than who they said. It means our 140 words in Twitter have the possibility to change the world.
May be, twitter will have a lot of problem and will make acsident, I think(..)
