3. Twitter is a Micro-Blog!
 “In essence, micro-blogging is for people who want a blog
but don’t want to blog. A personal blog can keep people
informed on what is going on in your life, but not everyone
wants to spend an hour crafting a beautiful post. Sometimes
you just want to say what’s going on in a very direct way.”
