Twitter fever is fast becoming a rage in tinsel town. So much, that one speculates if blogs will become secondary, as emails once did when IM's hit the nation's youth!

Although we suppose the information may well be redundant for many, for any beginners among our readers here's how we spell it ...

T . W . I . T . T . E . R .

... is a social networking, micro-blogging service built around the idea of keeping friends, family and colleagues up-to-date on your current 'status'. These status updates lovingly nicknamed 'tweets' are just short text messages informing followers of your current thoughts and actions. The platform has the provision to carry on multiple member discussions over posted tweets.

Why its Bollywood's new found trend ??

* Its painless, literally and financially! Promoting a movie, an album, new kids on the block ... or a concern is now a few clicks away. And with Apple I-Phone like trends to add their vantage, its a small world in your hands!
* Everyone's on it! This isn't about B-town alone, in fact they're almost belated into the race. International propaganda has never been so slick.
* It feels personal! Countless fans may live entire lives without so much as a real glimpse of their favorite celebrities. But a 'tweet' from them, is like almost being in active conversation...

To cut a long story short, Twitter is the current 'IT'.

And since that is now established, here are addicted tweeters of Bollywod, the must-follow(s)...!!
