What are microblogging and Twitter?

As across the rest of the world, microblogging is also spreading fast in Turkey. Among young people in particular, and alongside MSN and Facebook becoming some of the most important communication tools in the world, the use of brief messages and so-called 'status updates' (microblogging) has become a popular way of keeping in touch and of self expression. Thanks to microblogging's popularity, now well beyond these two original functions, many dedicated websites have been established recently. Twitter.com is such a microblogging site with more than six million users throughout the world, whose renown is rising as its membership expands with every passing day.

Twitter is a website which updates itself with users posting news, events and personal messages of a total of 140 characters. Twitter is also the most popular micro-blog site, also becoming an important marketing tool since entering the world of business. Twitter is not limited to computers, but is also easy to use with mobile phones and iPhones.
