Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. While the service costs nothing to use, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
Twitter is a free, micro-blogging web application. The premise is simple - just answer the question "What are you doing?" in 140 characters or less. The power comes from providing interesting and useful content and follow others who are providing the same sort of content. The more you contribute, the more you read, and the more you follow, the more powerful this tool becomes.
