Twitter is really gaining traction.

Once it was the domain of geeks and geekettes. Now, it seems non-techies are getting in on the tweet too.

They are either signing up for accounts or asking about it.

Ironically, Twitter is a difficult thing to summarize. My attempt, within Twitter’s word limit:

Twitter is microblogging. A post in 140 characters, somewhat akin to SMS broadcast rather than SMS to an individual.

With 24 characters to spare too.

But I digress.

Siva highlighted #sgweathernow on Twitter.

By appending #sgweathernow at the end of your tweets, individual users can give others live updates on the weather wherever they are located in Singapore.

And the sgweathernow Twitter account provides hourly updates on Singapore’s weather. No need to visit NEA’s website, unless you want more details.

So now, everyone can talk tweet about the weather.
