Twitter is another social networking and/or microblogging service that enables registered users to send and read messages. These messages are known as "Tweets" and are text-based posts of up to 140 characters. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. All users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or even through mobile phones.
