Help with using Twitter

What is Twitter?

Twitter is a free microblogging service where users publish updates or "tweets" of 140 characters or less, to describe what they're doing. If you "follow" people that you're interested in, you will see their status and you can reply to them. Accounts can be public or private so you can share your thoughts with the world or a small circle of friends.
