Twitter is the CB radio of the 21st Century.
Just like the CB radio of the 20th Century, on Twitter:
- what you say is publicly accessible
- the format is geared for short bursts of words, not long winded responses
- you give yourself, your interests, your perspective, a voice
- you can communicate one-to-many, or one-on-one, while others listen in
- you have a handle-name
- you can call for emergency help and someone will likely help
Of course, Twitter is different than CB radio, because:
- it's mostly text, not audio
- you have visible lists of followers and followed
- you have a profile page where others can read your past tweets
- you need a PC or smartphone instead of a CB radio unit
- works just as well night and day
