Twitter

Twitter is an online news and social networking service on which users post and interact with messages known as “tweets”, which are up to 280 characters each.

What can it do?

  • As a “status” updater, users post comments like “working on writing a paper right now” to let others know where they are or what they’re doing
  • As a “mini-blog”, users post short, frequent updates with their thoughts and current concerns
  • As a quick way of sending out announcements
  • To keep track of several individuals (perhaps their location, current activities, or general thoughts) without directly interacting with them
