Twitter is a microblogging social network service. Each entry – known as a ‘tweet’ – can be no more than 140 characters long.
A tweet can consist of almost anything: - your own thoughts - a link to a website - other people’s comments - replies to other comments as long as it stays within the 140-character limit.
