What is it?

Twitter - a social networking and mini blogging service that uses SMS, instant messaging, email and the Twitter website.  When you send in a mobile text (SMS), Twitter sends it out to your group of friends and posts it to your Twitter page.  Your friends might not have phone alerts turned on so they may check your web page instead. Likewise, you receive your friend’s mobile updates on your phone.

Twitter combines the features of text messaging with blogging.
