What is Twitter?
Twitter is an information network made up small messages called Tweets. It's a new and easy way to discover the latest news ("what's happening") related to subjects you care about.
How is it Useful?
Twitter contains information you will find valuable. Messages from users you choose to follow will show up on your homepage for you to read. It's like being delivered a newspaper whose headlines you'll always find interesting - you can discover news as it's happening, learn more about topics that are important to you, and get the inside scoop in real time.
