Real Time with Twitter
Twitter is for friends, family, and co workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent messages. People write short updates, called “tweets” of one hundred forty characters. These messages are posted to ones profile or blog, sent to followers, and are searchable on Twitter search. All one needs to use Twitter is an internet connection or a mobile phone. One can search by just checking the trending topics to see what’s hot on Twitter right now. RT is short for re tweet, and indicates a re-posting of someone else’s tweet. So all one needs to do is join twitter and stay connected for ever.
