3. Twitter is the latest shiny toy in
the web 2.0 toolbox
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate
and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to
one simple question: What are you doing? Bloggers can use it as a
mini-blogging tool. Developers can use the API to make Twitter tools of
their own.
