Twitter Stories

I read on PR Daily that this past Tuesday, Twitter launched Twitter stories, a way for the social media site to share tales of how people used the social media site in an interesting way.

From their blog:
“Read about a single Tweet that helped save a bookstore from going out of business; an athlete who took a hundred of his followers out to a crab dinner; and, Japanese fishermen who use Twitter to sell their catch before returning to shore. Each story reminds us of the humanity behind Tweets that make the world smaller"

I went to the Twitter Stories website and read some of the interesting things that people have been able to do with Twitter and it really made me realize that it is not only a networking tool for professionals, a way to keep up with friends or a news source but it can be life saving and fun.

The most interesting story I read was one of a man who tweeted "Sh*t I need a kidney." It only took a few days for 19 people to offer him one. HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!
