Mini or micro blogging allows users to write brief text updates (usually less than 200 characters) and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user. These messages can be submitted by a variety of means, including text messaging, instant messaging, email, MP3 or the web.
For this exercise you will be playing with the most popular microblogging service. Go to Twitter and set up an account. Here you can post messages (known as "tweets"), find a few friends to "follow" and finally, remember to write a blog post about your experience.
Have fun!!
