What is Twitter?

Follow ShareChat on Twitter: http://twitter.com/sharechat

Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.

Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them.

Users can send and receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS (receive only), or through applications such as Tweetie, Twitterrific, Twitterfon, TweetDeck and Feedalizr.

The service is free to use over the web, but using SMS may incur phone services provider fees.

Why Twitter is Useful

Twitter is wonderful for both personal and business uses. It's a great way to keep in touch with your friends and quickly broadcast information about where you are and what you're up to.

For business, Twitter can be used to broadcast your company's latest news and blog posts, interact with your customers, or to enable easy internal collaboration and group communication.

Why? Because even basic updates are meaningful to family members, friends, or colleagues-especially when they're timely.
