What is Twitter.com?


What is this "Twitter" everyone is talking about?

Twitter.com could be defined and used in many ways. It can be used to communicate between friends, family and co-workers, micro blogging or as a powerful marketing and community building tool. It's best described as a real time broadcasting medium.

According to wikipedia: "Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length".

You can publish your thoughts, observations, and goings-on in your day. Whether you're "eating an apple" or "looking foward to the weekend" or "Heading out of town" it's twitter-worthy. You can create your free twitter account at http://twitter.com
