Why are so many people using Twitter? Why would more 3 million people visit this website? Why are so many technology companies taking advantage of it?

This is really two questions: First, What is Twitter? And second, how do people use it? Here’s a short list of the top benefits of using Twitter.

These updates or tweets known as Twitter, provides the users the benefits to the users for sharing the messages,status updates, what they are doing to anyone who has decided to follow each tweet and really connect with the people who follow them. The members can get these updates through the twitter website, an RSS feed, text message, email, numerous applications including other blogging, social media websites and more.

Twitter: What’s the Big Attraction? (or as my Sig-O says, “Why on earth would total strangers care what you’re up to?”)

Networking: A great way to meet people. If you are in a business with a niche market, you can discover new people that have similar interests to yours.

Marketing: It’s not just about big companies like Dell, Comcast, etc. It’s about connecting with your audience and having a real presence on Twitter. I find that I get business by just having that more personal face to my company on Twitter, and engaging the community.

Immediate — It’s not enough to just have Twitter real-time search. What about other news sources such as AP or NY Times? What about reviews or weather or traffic results? As more information becomes more immediate (think user-generated content via your mobile phone), expect real-time tools to surge in the consumer market.

Examples
Waze — Waze is a crowdsourced mobile map that provides real-time traffic information that launched initially in Israel and is making its way over to America. The one barrier to entry, writes Mashable, is the app only works as well as the amount of information to power it. Therefore, if adoption rates are low, so will the quality of information.
Social Search — Bing now has the ability to index all of Twitter’s content. Therefore, if you’re looking for more information about Halloween decorating ideas, you can turn to the Twitterverse for answers.
