What is it?

Twitter is a conversation among a large group of people. You control who you follow and who follows you. You do not have to respond or acknowledge the many conversations you follow. It is a powerful networking tool for sharing ideas, resources, etc... but is often simply used for social purposes.

Anyone can follow you, but you are notified that they are following you. You can block them if you choose.

Twitter is most easily used on a cell phone.

Most young kids do not use Twitter, although that may begin to change.

Plurk.com is a similar site.
