Basically, you can do any form of research if you are online, and if you have enough followers and you can get answers relatively quickly!
Twitter is pretty viral and awesome, and it is definitely changing the way people communicate.
From the above, you can see that different people use twitter for different reasons and many are getting what they want.
So... why do you tweet?
