You know facebook? It's like facebook but instead of all the pics and stuff all you can do is post statuses. Thats it.
If you arent familiar with facebook, its a website where you can post short messages about what you are currently doing or your thoughts or whatever you like. You can then read other peoples messages or invite friends to read yours.
Sort of like a mini-diary

it's a website which allows you to post a short description about what you are doing. apparently, lots of people are obsessed about telling others what they are doing, and there's also a lot of people obsessed in finding out what the first lot of people is doing.

Twitter's worth using if you have a lot of friends who like knowing what you're up to. It's similar to a blog, but not really since you post updates often on what you're doing, where you are, or who your hanging out with. Many celebrities and businesspeople use Twitter so that their fans or co-workers know what they're doing.

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.
