General Descriptions What is twitter?

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets.

Founder of Twitter Twitter was Developed by Jack Dorsey on March 21st 2006

What can we do? Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the

author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers.

Senders can restrict delivery to those people in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications.

Simple, quick and frequent (vs. blogs)

General Descriptions Tweet

Twitter posts or updates is known as a tweet. Some people refer to them as “twits”, but the official term is “tweet.” Each tweet is not longer than 140 characters.

Following While Facebook requires that all relationships be reciprocal, Twitter allows

for one-way relationships. If i find Twitter users who are interesting, i can "follow them" to subscribe to their tweets. They do not necessarily have to follow me back, though the more social users will want to follow me back

Timeline The “timeline” page is the homepage which displays tweets from all the

people I am following. Direct Messages

Links to my Inbox/Sent messages (140 characters or less) that are privately sent to and from me.
