Twitter Friend Or Foe?
Introduction Twitter is a social networking and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets.
Whether you are out on the town and want to coordinate with a group of people as to what hot spot to hit next, or keeping people informed of developments at a company-sponsored event, Twitter is a great tool for quickly communicating a message to a group of people.

Tweets-what are they? Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers.
Tweets ranging from "what I had for breakfast" to "Michael Jackson died" give followers world-wide a better grasp on the activities and thoughts of real people.
