It offers a way to connect with the people you care about by sharing updates with them on the Web, IM, and SMS – as well as through third-party applications built by other developers .Twyka does not seek to drive users away from other popular social or microblogging platforms, but indeed complement these other popular social networks that many have by now become accustomed to..

“Fans, no doubt, came to follow Kaysha through his far-reaching range on the Web. He has taken advantage of several Web 2.0 services available to help craft his online image, including over 100 videos of his performances and behind the scenes moments on Viddler, over 11,000 photos on his Flickr account, and personal, up-to-the-minute accounts of his life on the road through his Twitter account. And like any music artist these days, Kaysha also has a MySpace page to showcase his music and list upcoming events. Because of these multimedia offerings, Kaysha’s fans can really get a personal connection to the artist from seeing his videos, reading his blog posts (of course, he has a blog) and listening to his music.[Black Web 2.0]
