What Is Twitter?
Twitter is a microblogging service that enables its users to publish short messages,
up to 140 characters in length, on a personalized news feed.

Also we can say that twitter is a free service that allows anyone to say almost
anything to anybody in 140 characters or less.


How you can use twitter?

the first step, sign up for an account, to do this go to- http://twitter.com/account/create.

then you should read twitter help guide - http://help.twitter.com/portal,it will help
you on how to use twitter.

Once you create an account you will be given a home page and a profile page.

from these pages you can find others Twitter streams to follow and post your own
messages.

Twitter terms

Tweet :Twitter message of up to 140 characters in length.
Handle :it is your twitter name @electriceng.
Twitter Feed : news-feed of Twitter messages by a respective user.
Following : If you subscribe to another user’s Twitter feed, his tweets show up on your homepage.
Twitterer : the person who uses Twitter.
Hashtag : If the symbol # directly precedes terms in a Tweet, the term becomes a
keyword (or “tag”). Hashtags are searchable and have become one of the most useful
features on Twitter. They help you to put your messages in a larger context
and enable other users interested in a specific topic or keyword to find all the relevant feeds.
