What is Twitter?
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send and read other users' updates--known as "tweets." According to Wikipedia, tweets are text-based posts up to 140 characters that are displayed with the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have other applications. The service is free to use over the Internet but using SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
