“What is X (formerly Twitter)?” and “Why should I use it?” are some of the most popular questions unconverted people have about the social networking site. With texting, various social networking sites, and blogspots, why is X useful?

There are several excellent business applications for X, such as sending newsletters or advertising the latest job opening. However, there are even more personal benefits of X.

Many people forget that X was originally created as a microblogging platform. And it’s still one of its best assets. It’s easy to quickly post a tweet telling the world what you’re doing, how good your morning coffee tastes, or how bad your lunch was.

The idea of crowdsourcing has never been faster! You can ask the X-Universe all sorts of questions, from the capital of Alaska to opinions on a certain brand of baby food. And the more friends you have, the more detailed the answers you'll get.
