The third most popular social site on our blog of the top 4 social sites is Twitter. Twitter has 335 million MAU’s. Twitter is popular for instant real-time information.  Traditionally, it was 140 characters but now it has been updated to 280 characters per tweet. Personally, I use Twitter for quick after-sale services. Recently, the sales force called Twitter as a new 1-800 number for customer service in their blog.

Twitter is more about following companies, brands, celebrity, quick updates and short tweets like quotes.
