Twitter is a online social networking and microblogging service that allows users to send and receive messages via “tweet”. Twitter was created in 2006 by Jack Dorsey when he wanted to make an SMS based social network. Before coming up with the name “Twitter” names like FriendStalker & DodgeBall were considered. According to the dictionary’s definition, Twitter is “a short burst of inconsequential information." As of this year, Twitter reportedly has more than 500 million users.

340 million Tweets are sent out daily. (That’s over 2 billion tweets per week!) Twitter is one of the top ten most visited websites on the Internet.

Tweets are 140 character messages that are sent out and can be read publicly if the user does not restrict them. Users can subscribe to other users via “following” them. According to Wikipedia, 40% of all tweets are just pointless babble.
