Twitter can help, Just ask

4 Apr 2009 0 Comments

Load of people know I use Twitter and about 70%(the non-tweeters) just don’t get it. They see similar methods on Facebook and Bebo and don’t understand it’s usefulness in today’s society. One of Twitters main features, is its ability to search, and that might be its best.

I went down to Xtravision to rent an Xbox game, and had no idea what to rent out. So like any other person I started rummaging through the boxes, looking for something that looked remotely interesting. But unlike any other person once I found something I liked through Twitter.

I saw Street Fighter IV, but I didn’t know that much about it to want to rent it. Who would I ask? None of my friends had the game, so I asked the people of Twitter

I popped out my N95, went into #Gravity, searched for “street fighter 4 fun” and I saw this tweet

“Street Fighter 4, I thought I would never enjoy playing this game, but it is a lot of fun!”

and

“Still laughing at the fun we had with Street Fighter 4 yestrday, and suprised how quickly we got to grips with it. Fun Gaming”

They are two things I want in a game. Easy to get into the game, and ultimately fun. You might ask “Why didnt you just Google it?" and the answer is simple. I wanted to know what real people think about it, not just game reviewing sites that are sometimes over-critical of games.

So you see kids, Twitter is not just a site. It’s a useful tool waiting to be utilized. There are so many things you can do with it that it would be stupid not to use it. Now I’m off to play some Street Fighter IV, to see if I really like it
