If you have not heard of it Twitter is a big part of the current Social Media scene. There are many people from individuals to business people and celebrities using it. Some for no particular purpose other then to share what they are doing, some to share photo’s, video’s, information, and then others to sell their products. The spread in age, nationality, and content that people share is about as broad as you can possibly get.
Potentially more so though is the ability that is created by Twitter to create a live ongoing conversation between literally anyone. On any topic. It has been used as a tool by many to keep others up to date and by many to stay up to date on events that are immediately happenings.
