Twittering is a mixture of blogging and texting. The tweets are only made up of 140 characters which is too short but it can tell a lot of things. Twitter is a widely known web application which is partly a micro-blogging and social networking service. Twitter users can send and at the same time read updates of other members. The updates can be received through twitter, RSS, SMS, Tweetie, Twitter Mobile, Twitterrific, Facebook, Feedalizr, and Twidget. This year, there are already about six million users of Twitter all over the world.
You can receive the tweets in many ways and not just when you’re online. You must be aware that there are some users who spam; it’s not a good idea so if you’re new to Twitter.

You can't say everything you want to say with only 140 characters. That’s the beauty of Twitter. You just can’t say enough and so you keep on twittering.
