What is Twitter?

Twitter is an online site where people (yes, any and all people) partake in social networking and micro-blogging. It's a to-the-minute update of an old one liner 'What are you doing?'.

In 140 text characters or less you either type in your information and post updates for those following you to read. Or you read posts made by those whom you are following. A pretty simple concept that has since exploded into a common household word.

By this time in 2010, I expect Twitter will have an even more insane amount of Tweeters, hence it has and will continue to become a fantastic marketing tool.

Social Networking - is the forming of online groups of like minded people or those to which we feel a connection ie; business, family, friends.

Micro Blogging - sending brief blurps of text or other forms of multi-media in an instant.

Follower - you become a 'follower' when decide to 'follow' another Tweeter and stay updated on their tweets.

Following - you are considered to be 'following' someone when you have subscribed or chosen to 'follow' them.
