What is Twitter?

Twitter is a social networking/blogging site that allows you to communicate with your online friends via short messages or "tweets".

How do you use it?
First you will need to set up a profile page. This page will allow you to share your updates with others, and get their updates. You can provide as much or as little information about yourself as you choose on your profile page. You can publish information in your profile such as your website/blog address, your name, your location and a short burst about your interests.
To "tweet" or "twitter" you will need to start posting messages. These are a maximum of 140 characters long and can be about anything you choose... what you are currently doing, what you are thinking about or even links to other websites or photo sites you want to share with people.
You can let as many people as you want follow your updates. To start following other people's updates, and have their "tweets" sent to you, simply search for their name in the Twitter search and click on their "follow" button. You can also follow the public timeline which allows you to follow all updates on Twitter as they are posted in real-time.
