Google and it’s other Tools and Apps on Twitter
‘I feel Good‘, ‘Check out the new Google Apps Status Dashboard‘ are the tweets posted by Google. Tweets? And Google? Not sounding music to ears? Google, recently signed up for accounts on Twitter. Wednesday evening, the first tweet by Google said ”m 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010′ which means ‘I feel good’ in the computer language (the binary form).
The second post said ‘Check out the new Google Apps Status Dashboard’, which may be the real motive in Google joining Twitter. To spread about it’s applications. Since then, Google started tweeting regularly, but unlike others, it only has few tweets a day.
This Twitter account of Google attracted over 31,000 followers in less than 3 days. It has posted over 100 updates together from all it’s accounts. There are tweets about Google Toolbar, Google Friend Connect and Google Translate.
