Help allnurses reach its Twitter goal

Now, please, someone, explain to me what exactly is Twitter? I mean, it must have gotten big when it gets to the point where Larry King is competing with Sean "Puffy" Combs for numbers in Twitter. Is it a text thingy? I did join, barely participate. I'll do it for AN for sure, but am trying to figure out what the deal is about it and why is everyone so excited about Twitter and Facebook (as a matter of fact, if someone can explain the deal with Facebook, also, it would be a God-send...).

I'm following now... Twitter is really cool. I've only been a member for about a week but I'm already following Oprah, Ashton Kutcher, Usher, Demi Moore, Taylor Swift, and many more. It is really cool seeing the pictures they post on the sets of their new movies and from their shows. I kind of feel like a stalker but they do it for their fans.

I love Twitter! I'll mention allnurses on follow friday, that helps to get a lot of followers

Just joined up............

On Fridays they have something called "#followfriday" and you can post Twitter page suggestions for friends/celebs to follow. So, posting #followfriday@allnurses on your Twitter page (status) on Friday could help attract some followers.

I am following allnurses!

Just joined Twitter yesterday. Kind of been hesitating for a while to join since Facebook and allnurses.com already takes up a considerable amount of my time online. But I caved in. I'll probably only use it sparingly for now, but I did add allnurses to my feed, hope you reach your goal!

Way to go Brian. This is a splendid way to raise public awareness of nurses & nursing! Let your peeps know when the goal is achieved.
