Twitter is a service that allows people to continually update their status. The service allows users to post about what they are doing throughout the day.

I first thought of twitter as the ultimate tool for teens to track their friends so they would not have the anxiety of not knowing where their pals are every moment of the day. Over the past year we have watched as this platform has become a major player in the micro blogging and social media space.
