From:Wikipedia
“ “Twitter is a free social networking and
micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other
users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up
to 140 characters, displayed on the user's profile page and delivered
to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers).
