Well, those who follow this blog have probably seen me mention Twitter a time or two. Well, I wanted to take some time to try my best to explain it.

So… What is Twitter? I thought I would let the twitter world tell us… I posed the question and here are a few of their responses.

@JonathanMoore_ explained it this way

Public Instant messenger chat for the Web through the use of mini-blogging that can be accessed across multiple mediums.

@hydeparkorama said…

Twitter is the sharing of facets of my life real time with those who actually care

@moviepastor well…

This is a PG rated blog so I can’t share what he said.

@davidwike looks at it this way

Twitter keeps me in touch with what is going on in the life of my peeps & allows me to keep them informed via SMS messaging

@michaelharrison states it as…

Sharing life and ideas across the miles via the www.

@kbriankelley says it probably the best…

Blogging meets IM in 140 chars or less for a engaging community experience.

And this video explains it better than I could ever do it…

Can I see an example of the type of information shared on twitter… sure you can:
