Dubai to join Twestival
- United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, February 11 - 2009 at 10:17
Dubai is to join over 175 cities in a global networking meeting taking place Thursday 12th February. Based around the social media service Twitter, the event brings the UAE into a global community using one of the fastest growing innovations in today's new media, according to a press statement. Twitter is the online service that allows people to share short messages of under 140 characters. Usage of Twitter grew 752% last year from a total of 500,000 unique visitors at the start of 2008 to 4.43 million unique visitors worldwide in December. Although Twitter was intended as a purely social application, it is finding an increasingly strong place in company communications, acting as a marketing platform and a customer service tool, according to the event organizers.
