How To Explain Twitter To Your Family

If you've spent any time with your parents in the last 4 years, you've probably had to field the question, "What's a Twitter?"- reminiscent to the "Can I use the Google?" of the previous decade.

Let's face it: we have to be there for our parents, to whom the notion of social media doesn't always compute.

The difficulty, I discovered, in explaining Twitter to someone who doesn’t already understand it intrinsically is that while using the platform is one thing, using it effectively is another. And let's face it: there are a lot of narcissists in a very bloated Twitterverse who are annoyingly self-centered. But Twitter can be a great tool when it’s used correctly. Hint: that's not as a diary.
