What is Twitter?
Twitter is a simple web and mobile computing application which allows a user to write a 140 character ‘post’ or ‘Tweet’ (including punctuation) on a page on the internet. These ‘tweets’ are like short blog posts, a list of which is called a ‘feed’. Twitter users can build a list of other users whose Tweets they ‘follow’. The tweets of all those you have chosen to follow are displayed on your home timeline.
