Twitter is a social networking site and the leading micro-blogging platform that allows users to create 140 character messages. These messages, or ‘Tweets’, are then delivered to the general Twitter population and more specifically to the Twitter feed of the people that have added you as a friend or that ‘Follow You’. These messages also remain on your Twitter profile page and are visible to anyone who visits your personal page.
Twitter is growing at a phenomenal rate and is becoming a vastly important part to the overall success of any social media marketing plan undertaken. With well over six million active users, this micro-blogging site has experienced an increase of 1,350% in active users in the past year alone and it is now the third largest social networking site in the world. Twitter is making a real impact around the world as people, companies, and organizations everywhere discover a powerful new way to communicate and find out what’s happening—right now.
