It is like telling everyone what you are doing all the time. Also you can communicate with people better, if you don't know them well. Its fun and addicting

You can simply post messages. This can be your mood and feeling, a link to a website you enjoy, or a direct message to another twitter user.

If you are familia with Facebook, you may compare it to te Status Updates - simple messaging.

You can 'follow' people or companies, this is like adding them to a contact list and will add there 'Tweets' into your news feed to ensure you never miss an update. In turn, others can 'follow' you and your updates.

There are some other features, but that is essentially what Twitter is.

[Maria Rose]

twitter is a social networking and microblogging service that allows you answer the question, "What are you doing?" by sending short text messages 140 characters in length, called "tweets", to your friends, or "followers."I don’t think of Twitter as a social network. I tend to think of traditional social networks like MySpace and Facebook as much more personal than Twitter in the sense that most people only allow friends or people they actually know into their “friends” network. Twitter, on the other hand, displays less personal information about the user and makes it much easier to add them as a friend (i.e. “follow” them). The Twitter community is more accessible and helpful as well.

Twitter is one of the biggest social networks and a free service through which users create profiles through which they can post messages known as tweets.
