What is Twitter?
Twitter is a social networking site that helps connect you to

what/who you find interesting.


You share your thoughts on the site by Tweeting; each

Tweet is 140 characters in length.


Twitter has over 300 million users ranging from students,

professors, businesses, news reporters, celebrities, etc

Why Use Twitter?


The SMS of the Internet.
It is a very innovative and fast way to follow the rest of

the world.
You can tweet updates, location, photos, videos,

interesting articles, etc

following news agencies, reporters, journalists

Warnings about Twitter?


Tweets are publicly visible by default but senders can
