Twitter

Twitter is a "social networking system" like MySpace and Facebook and it's very popular in the United States, Britain and Japan. You write messages with a maximum of  140 characters. In your message you answer one simple question: "What are you doing now?" Twitter is a popular with "normal people", but it is also popular with celebrities who use it as a blog. A twitter message is called a tweet that is literally the sound of a small bird. The symbol on the twitter website is a bird on a tree. Twitter may not be an intelligent word, but it is the new digital activity. It is replacing "chat" as the most important form of communication. Other twitter words include follower that is a person who "follows" a twitter's old messages; retweet which means sending another person's message. Twitter is based in Silicon Valley, California. I have chosen this article because I like this social network, also I use it every day to follow celebrities.
