WHAT IS TWITTER?


Twitter is a social networking and microblogging service
that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets.
Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page
and delivered to the author's subscribers
who are known as followers.
Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends
or, by default, allow open access.
Since late 2009, users can follow lists of authors instead of following individual authors.
All users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website,
Short Message Service (SMS), or external applications (notably including those developed for smartphones).
While the service itself costs nothing to use,
accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
The website currently has more than 100 million users worldwide.
Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey,
Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide.
It is sometimes described as "SMS of the Internet."
The use of Twitter's application programming interface for sending
and receiving text messages by other applications often eclipses direct use of
Twitter.
