Why do so many people seem to like Twitter?

Simplicity has played an important role in Twitter's success. People are eager to connect with other people and Twitter makes that simple. Twitter asks one question, "What are you doing?" Answers must be under 140 characters in length and can be sent via mobile texting, instant message, or the web.

Revisiting the year 2008 & Kum 2009 etlawhna

I am in a dilemma, what to call the past year 2008. Whatever it may be, things keep on changing, winds blows and often changed its directions. The year 2008 have a rugged and smooth records in the Zou society in Delhi and NCR.

We all know what 2008 had impact on you and me, and also on our society. For some, it may be the year of success, changes or may be it is a heart broken year for others. Here, what I wanted to emphasize is that, let us all look into a new world, let us all shun our differences and try to follow the same tune of the society chorus.

I zaat, i nam hoitah a apei thei na ding in nang tuomi be-le-phung chite a um lou ngai, na sanggampa, ka pupa, ka innkuonte chia dihlou thei na sasa ki bawnghua jui tei tei, a dihlou ahi chi thei na sasa a ki pawng gup chite a um lou ding ahi.

I nam hoina ding ahi leh eima mimal ki-chapousahna (ego) pen paimang poimaw leh kul hi. Kum 2008 sung in kichapousahna ngen a dim i tam zieh in sil a suolou ding tampi suodoh um hi. A naupang lam hitahen aw, a upalam hitaleh, a ki bawng-eh bah chiet akitam man in i nam sungah lungvai huoi leh luosuo huoi zen in kum i zang tung uhi.

Society sunga mimal ki theisiemlouna umte lahsah lou ham i sawm lou ua ahileh lamkai a na pang nin na post adih lou in na zang kha jel ding hi. Mimal kithei siemlouna pen pawlpi sunga i chillum toh val ngai hi.

Pawlpi sung khat poupou ah ka thu, ka la peihen na chi a ahileh na ki innte sah poimaw hi. A gal a apat mi sep leh bawl na soisel laisie a gamla deu deu nahi khinkhien hi. Na sem in, silhoi bawl in, innte pan in malou bang pua lechin mipi’n na thu jui duom duom mai ding ahi.

Ka sanggampa, ka pupa ahizieh ahiei a panla kahileh vang, a mawhna, hui in tangvai asemmang bang bep ka hi ding hi. Thu adihlou ahita i chi leh zong sumkuong chieng kei lou a i bawl khiel umte admit theijel pen guoljawna leh kituona bul ahi chi tu kum 2009 sunga i thupi ding uh hita hen.
