Twitter

I thought I would create a topic about this because I got the impression in class that no one had heard of it before, and because I'm bored.

Twitter is a social networking micro-blogging service.
In layman's terms: a social website where people update their profiles using quick little messages. These are made using the website itself or your cell phone. You can also be updated by text when any update occurs or for specific updates of your choice.

It started in 2006 but has become increasingly popular over the past year--trailing right behind Myspace and Facebook. People use Twitter to keep track (known as following in Twitter terminology) of what their friends are doing, or what they did a certain day, to track weather/news/sports information, or to follow music artists, actors/actresses, or other popular people.

Creating an account is free and pretty easy.
If you have unlimited texting, you're good to go.
