What is Twitter anyway?
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service. What that means is that each user can
send a quick text update -- known as a tweet  -- that is up to 140 characters in length...but no longer. If
you have subscribed to "follow" the person sending the tweet, then that tweet shows up for you to read.
It used to be that people were mainly tweeting about their day-to-day activities -- "I just ate a
sandwich"..."Now I'm having a latte..." but, yawn!!! Now, we have news media, journalists, doctors,
experts, and others tweeting about topics that help you feel and live well!
