Tweets are short messages (140 characters or less) that were originally based on answering the question: “What are you doing?” Tweets have now evolved to track an event, update followers on a political campaign, market a service and update blog readers on new posts. Messages are sent via the web, SMS text messaging, browser plugins, desktop applications or instant messengering software.
