Twitter Users in Arkansas

Local News, Media and Organizations

Do you twitter? I do. I've been on twitter for about a year now. It seems like everyone is tweeting these days. Twitter is a meta-blogging service that lets you post short, 140-character updates called "tweets." Your tweets can be news, status updates, bits of info or whatever else you want. Some people even post 140-character poetry.

Some of my favorite local bloggers are on twitter including Doug Krile, Bryan Jones, Lance Turner and Jeff Noble. Most of the local media stations are on Twitter. Jessica Dean even uses Twitter to help "Chose Your News" on KATV. Even Barak Obama uses Twitter!

Twitter is free to sign up and easy to use. You can post your "tweets," or mini-updates, via the web. It can get more involved though (skip to the list if you don't care to be a power user).

You can use something like Twitter Feed to feed your blog through Twitter. Applications like Tweet Deck will allow you post from your desktop and manage your feeds. The Twitter Tips Blog has lots of fun tips and advice.

If you want to check out popular twitter users, you can go to Twitter Counter's top 100 twitter users link. You can see what people are twittering about by checking the most popular twitter keywords. To learn what twitter hashtags, or groupings, people are tweeting, you can go to Hashtags.org. Hashtags are #keyword tags used during special events or for special topics. For example, during the San Diego fires, people used #sandiegofire so their updates would be easily searched (more info on hashtags).

Tell us how you use Twitter and add your name to the directory.
