Day 23: Twitter

Today I want to talk about a relatively new service called Twitter.

Twitter is a social networking service that asks a very basic question: What are you doing right now?

People are allotted 140 characters to answer this question. It’s a micro blogging service where people can share with each other what they are doing.
