What is Twitter

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service, that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.

It 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?

Twitter is now being recognised as a valuable marketing tool . But here’s the thing - you don’t have to listen to the incoming noise! You can ignore it if you choose to. Unlike email, Twitter is just ‘fly on the wall’ communication. On the other hand, if you have people following you, you hope they are listening so you can get your message across.

Ideally, you keep the people you are following to a minimum, and have more people following you.

What do people use Twitter for?
There are many different uses for Twitter. Some of the most common are:

* Instant updates. For instance, the Los Angeles Fire Department uses Twitter to keep the community apprised of fire emergences (LAFD).
* News. You can get up to the minute news updates from many news agencies; for instance, Sky News (SkyNews).
* Friends and family. The majority of Twitter users use it to keep friends and family apprised of what they're doing at any given moment. It's a great way to fire off a quick jolt of news if you don't have a lot of time to write anything more substantial (you can see my Twitter feed at wboswell).
