What is Twitter?
Twitter is a micro blog service which enables you to post immediate updates (”tweets”) of up to 140 characters in answer to the question “what are you doing?”. It is a service that allows your friends and family (”followers”) to stay up to date with your updates, thoughts, whereabouts etc via the web, Instant Messenger (IM) or by text messages.

Twitter as a Business Tool
Whilst predominately a social networking site, businesses are also adopting the Twitter services as a powerful marketing tool to develop relationships with their clients by announcing news headlines, special offers, customer support and feedback etc.

Your “tweets” can be imported to your website/blog or alternatively, TwitterFeed is a service that directs your blog/rss into your Twitter account,  whilst developers can use the API to make their own Twitter tools.
