Overview
Twitter is an online news and social networking site where people communicate in short messages called tweets. Tweeting is sending a short message to anyone who follows you on Twitter, with the hope that your messages are useful and interesting to someone in your audience. Some people also use Twitter to discover interesting people and companies. In addition to its relative novelty, twitter's big appeal is how rapid and scan friendly it is: you can track hundreds of twitter users and read their content with a glance. This is ideal for our modern world. Twitter employs a purposeful message size restriction to keep things "Scan friendly": every tweet is limited to 280 characters or less. This size cap promotes the focused and clever use of language which makes tweets very easy to scan, and also very challenging to write.
