Twitter has sure gotten a lot of attention recently. It seems like everyone and their mother is using this site. From movie stars, athletes, rappers, journalist, and everyone in between, they all seem to be "tweeting". I have used this site in the past recently to see what all the buzz was about. Twitter allows you to answer one questions in a short, mini blog format (140 words or less), "What are you doing?". It's basically very similar to the "Status" feature on Facebook, in the effect that all you can do is post a short message about what you are doing or thinking. Similar to Facebook, you can find and follow your friends to see what they up to.
I have never really found much of a use for this site before, but now I can see how it can be a very powerful communication tool, for both school and work. Companies can "tweet" and have their employees know about stuff going on in the company instantly. Schools can tweet information about events or classes so their students can know whats going on and when.
