Twitter was launched in 2006 as a social networking service that seemed simpler than Facebook.  The service lets you create a profile with a simple bio and picture.  It is a microblogging service that only lets you post limited content. The magic number is 140.  A tweet, your thought or status posted, can only contain 140 characters. This includes spaces and symbols. Twitter also includes a following option in order to feed someone’s profiles content into your homepage.  You can follow your friends, favorite brands, or celebrities to see their up-to-date tweets. This service is compatible with smartphones.  Refer to the blog “What are Hashtags” to learn more about what can be in a tweet.
