What is the twitter and is it cool?

[Daniel]

This is like the hi5 where you can meet people or some kind of blog?

[Rubén]

Yes, it's alike. It is supposed to be a kind of messenger to send instantaneous messages about everything you want, add your photo and contacts, but blogs and similars are cooler.

Twitter is a Miniature Blog
Twitter is Social Messaging
Twitter is News Reporting
Twitter is Social Media Marketing

This brings us back to the original question. What is Twitter? It is many different things to many different people. It can be used by a family to keep in touch, or a company to coordinate business, or the media to keep people informed or a writer to build up a fan base.

Twitter is micro-blogging. It is social messaging. It is an event coordinator, a business tool, a news reporting service and a marketing utility.
