I seem to find myself digging for great Twitter analogies when faced with the paradox of explaining Twitter to a friend. You would think that something so simple would be easy to explain, yet somehow people are still dumbfounded by its purpose.
So here is a solid little list of Twitter analogies I’ve found scattered across the web. Choose your weapons.
- Twitter is a Party
- Twitter is an Appetizer
- Twitter is a Text Webcam
- Twitter is a Tavern
- Twitter is a Hammer
- Twitter is a Coral Reef
- Twitter is a Cocktail Party
- Twitter is like Post-it Notes
- Twitter is a Virtual Coffee Shop
- Twitter is Telegram 3.0
- Twitter is a Conference Reception
- Twitter is Email Marketing 2.0
- Twitter is like Fishing
- Twitter is like Holiday Cards
- Twitter is a Line-A-Day Diary
- Twitter is like Sex
If you have a favorite analogy that is not on this list, please share it in the comments and I’ll throw it in the mix.
