The Utterances of a Peculiar Mindset

After listening a lot about twitter and watching a video on youtube referred by a friend, I finally decided to give it a try. And tot ell you, twitter just rocks.

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send "updates" (or "tweets"; text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) to the Twitter website, via short message service (e.g. on a cell phone), instant messaging, or a third-party application such as Twitterrific or Facebook.

Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and instantly delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone is the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email or through an application.

How is it different from blogging? Well, firstly, this is microblogging and not bloggng. Here you can just update your status upto 140 characters. So yo are basically expected to answer only one question. "What are you doing?" You can go through the video followed to know what exactly twitter is and how it works.
