Twitter Spreads It Wings with "@anywhere" Platform

Speaking at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Texas, Twitter Chief Executive Evan Williams announced a new means for Twitter users to more conveniently use the burgeoning micro-blog. The new "@anywhere" platform will allow users to access other sites and "Tweet", without having to return to their personal Twitter pages.

"What we're doing is lowering the barriers to using Twitter," Mr. Williams said. "There's something interesting on Twitter for everbody, but not everbody knows that."

Twitter is fast growing in popularity with businesses, organizations, and individuals as a means of keeping in-touch and as a saavy marketing tool. This new platform has the potential to expand Twitter's effectiveness in a way that will also increase the number of Twitter users. I know it will make it easier for me!

  1. That is actually a really cool idea I think. I just barely got a facebook last month so I am kinda slow in the digital age for me age haha. This "@anywhere" platform sounds like it can help people like me who don't use twitter at all to get acquainted with it.
