Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent messages. People write short updates, often called “tweets” of 140 characters or fewer. These messages are posted to your profile or your blog, sent to your followers, and are searchable on Twitter search.

Promoting Your Blog/Site Twitter can be used nearly better than any other social networking system to promote your visibility and reach on the web.
