What is Twitter?
Twitter allows you to share information, ask questions, and connect with people around common interests. You use your computer or mobile phone to send short messages, or “tweets,” that are limited to 140 characters. People can sign up on Twitter to follow your tweets. You can choose to follow people and will receive their tweets, too.
There are many types of tools that can help you organize your tweets (many of them which are free) – check out some of these tools on 140+ Twitter tools .
