what is twitter and how it is used?

[twcriptide]

Like the others have said, it is a social networking site, somewhat like facebook. In place of status updates, you instead have "tweets" these can be anywhere from 1-140 characters long and go out to every one who is "following" you. This means that they went to your page and hit "the follow" button and will see your tweets on their page. If you follow someone, you will see their tweets o. Your page. Hope this helps, twitter is ok, but facebook is better.
