How does twitter work, could you give me more details?

[Robin]

Twitter is a social networking system like Face book.

The difference is you enter a tweet (that's a description of what you are currently doing) that can be no more than 140 characters.

Users follow the people that they are interested in, and when logged into Twitter receive the messages (tweets) that the people the have followed send.

In the same way people can follow you, every time you enter a message (tweet) you're followers will receive the message you sent.

It's also possible to direct message a user (send a private message to them).
