What is Twitter?
If you’ve heard of it, but your not sure what it is here’s the low down. Twitter is a free social networking service that allows users to post and receive messages. It asks the simple question or “What are you doing now?” Updates appear on Twitter and other sites connected to Twitter accounts. Messages must be under 140 characters in length. A Twitterer/Tweeter is a user of Twitter and Tweets are your posts. You can follow other Tweeters. Microblogging… tell me everything you are doing down to tying your shoes. Free, Easy and Instant…. but can be information overload.
