Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets).

Not only is this fun free and addicting, it is also very contagious. From a marketing stand point this can be very powerful. Twitter seems to have an effective way of humanizing people and provides a context for better understanding them.

Twitter is a privately funded startup with offices in the SoMA neighborhood of San Francisco, CA. Started as a side project in March of 2006, Twitter has grown into a real-time short messaging service that works over multiple networks and devices. In May 2007, Twitter Incorporated was founded. In march of 2008 there was over 1 million twitter users. There were 200,000 active users per week and over 3 million twitter messages a day. And this was nearly a year ago. Obviously the number of users has shot through the roof by now.
