If you own a mobile phone and know how to access the internets, subscribing to Twitter is hardly something to scoff about. Twitter is a practical communication tool that combines the best of the web with your cell phone without the need for a mobile data contract. Whether you have a data plan or not, you are sure to benefit greatly from free service if you “follow” the right “tweeters.”
Tweeters here are chosen for their quality and usefulness of their tweets. No fluff here! You can subscribe to my local-news twitter list, or simply read more about why you should follow:
