• Allows users to send text-based updates called tweets, up to 140 characters long.
• Over 140 million active users as of 2012 generate over 340 millions tweets daily.
• Service is public by default and it is far more accessed by mobile device than by desktop.
• Demographic is older, newer to social media. Also, slightly more women.
