What's all the 'Tweet' About?

This blog is a dedication to Twitter. No, I didn't stutter given if I would have spoken this.

So many people disregard Twitter's importance, because obviously they don't use an account and see the other side to their typical "I'm walking to the grocery store" impression of it.
People who have Twitter accounts and use it effectively, however, LOVE IT.

Now, let me explain how I have used Twitter in a productive way with music. Warped Tour is a concert which I attend myself to every summer, and after creating a Twitter account (back in 2009), I have been met some awesome bands like: 3oh!3, Single File, The Bouncing Souls, Innerpartystem, and more. How I did this, was by receiving their 'tweets' via text message from my Twitter account, and going to the tents which they signed at throughout the day.

So.. what are people and bands on Twitter saying?
  Kevin Martinez, my brother who has a bit of a Twitter obsession and will admit it, tweeted Thursday, Dec. 2, "I'm disappointed that this day is STILL not a national holiday. Maybe next year. Happy Birthday @britneyspears!"
  And also,
 3OH!3 bandmembers, who also use their Twitter account regularly, have recently tweeted:
 "Be an extra in 3OH!3's next music video!" (Dec. 6); and "FROM THE VAULTS: 3OH!3 to release their old unreleased track 'Hit it Again' on December 21st." (Dec. 8).

So, if you haven't figured it out yet, I am a fan of Twitter. I don't tweet as much as my brother or 3OH!3, but
I do enjoy its great benefits in meeting bands and finding out what they are up to. There is much more to Twitter than music, but I will stop there. I guess the point that I am trying to make here is: "Twitter rocks my world."
    Wow. I can't believe I just tweeted that...
