Twitter is better used with friends and for connecting with others through conversation. While it initially seems to have little purpose with its 140 character limit, Twitter can be useful for spreading news quickly, expressing opinions, sharing information, sparking memories and conversations, and connecting with like-minded individuals. When used as a tool for conversation rather than just broadcasting short messages, Twitter allows for genuine interaction and connection between users.
