Dear Patron:
Twitter is an online social networking service and microblogging
service that enables its users to send and read text-based posts
of up to 140 characters, known as "tweets". It was created in
March 2006 by Jack Dorsey and launched that July. The service
rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with over 300 million users
as of 2011, generating over 300 million tweets and handling over
1.6 billion search queries per day. It has been described as "the
SMS of the Internet."
Tweets are publicly visible by default; however, senders can
restrict message delivery to just their followers. Courtesy:
