Now, Twitter in hindi

Talking in Hindi may not be considered too cool, but tweeting in Hindi sure could be. As Twitter launches a Hindi interface, we ask Gen i their opinion
Hindi’ll become cool now
The dominant notion till now is that it is not cool to be caught speaking in Hindi. This perception may change if social networking sites can be accessed in Hindi and other regional languages

A way to turn the tables
Akon might not have a problem singing in Hindi, but a Delhi University student, particularly someone studying English Literature, may.This is because speaking in Hindi is still seen as ‘LS’. Making Twitter available in Hindi is an interesting way to turn the tables

No takers in metros
The news is interesting, but then how many of us will be willing use it? Even though I’m a Delhiite, it takes a lot of effort for me to read anything written in Hindi. I’m not sure if I will really use it. I don’t think the usage will be that high in metropolitan cities

Would celebs tweet in hindi?
Would celebs we follow on Twitter, also tweet in Hindi? I’m not too sure how comfortable the urban youth will be. Since English is the language preferred by everyone in colleges and at the workplace, how many of us would avail this service, is still uncertain. But I hope this will help Hindi become popular with Gen i

It’s a novelty
I would want to use it, not for anything else but the novelty factor. But how do I type in Hindi?

More out of curiosity
Every time something like this comes out, people start thinking that this will encourage more youngsters to speak in Hindi. Google has had a Hindi interface for quite some time and so do some other websites. But has that changed anything drastically? People who do use Twitter in Hindi will be doing it for curiosity and not because they have any greater purpose in mind
