What is Twitter?
MOBILE, Ala. – In the past, when you wanted someone to know what you were doing, you would call them or maybe send an email. But things have definitely changed. We now have Facebook and MySpace , but the new thing is Twitter . Chris Michael’s job at WABB is to entertain you while playing music, but something new has been added to his job, to twitter. “It’s been huge, when we went on the air the first day we already had 100 followers after one day,” Michaels said. Now they have almost 400 followers and they “tweet” all day. Yes, tweet. Here is the breakdown. You create a twitter profile. Once you have your profile you can update it any time during the day. For Michaels it’s a way to let listeners behind the scenes. “The main thing is just talk about what you are doing. ‘we’re going to lunch,’ ‘we’re going backstage to meet an artist,'” Michaels said.

Twitter is a popular microblogging service that lets you post small text messages to a “personal timeline,” which is a little like a micro blog. You can make this timeline protected (only approved people get to see it) or public (anyone can read it).

Not that we don’t like answering it over and over again, but this will free up more time for dancing. Twitter is a social networking site based around text messaging. First, you register yourself at www.twitter.com, then invite a few friends into your Twitter network as friends.

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users’ updates known as ‘tweets’. Twitter asks the question ‘what are you doing?’ and allows users to reply with text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. Tweets are displayed on the user’s profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers). Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow anybody to access them. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. The service is free to use over the Internet, but using SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
