2. • Twitter is a platform with bidirectional communication. It´s
a social network because you can choose your “friends”.
Messages have a maximum of 140 characters.
• The relations are asymmetric (and this is the main
difference with Facebook or Linkedin). In Twitter there is a
difference between “followers” and “followed”.
• You can have two lists: one is the list of people you follow
and the other is the list of people that follow you. When
you follow someone and this person also follows you then
you are "co-followers".
• If you follow someone, it means that you will see his
"tweets" (the messages that he writes in Twitter).

• 2. With Twitter, you can feel near people that is very far
away.
• 3. Twitter teaches you about other opinions, other points of

mind.
