- 2. The basics on Twitter
Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging
service that allows its users to send and read other
users' updates (or “tweets”), which are text-based
posts up to 140 characters in length.
Tweets are displayed on the user's profile page and
delivered to other users who have signed up to receive
them (or to “follow” the sender).
Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS,
RSS, or through a range of applications that take
advantage of Twitter’s open API to deliver a range of
enhanced functionality via a number of channels.
