An introduction to Twitter

This week the Wall Street Journal published a good basic overview of Twitter.

The service is called microblogging because it’s like blogging, but it’s based on the mobile platform of text messaging, or SMS. It’s a microblog because it’s limited to 140 characters.

If you’re new to Twitter, or you’ve got a client or someone else asking you about it, the WSJ article is helpful. It includes definitions, explanations and reasons to use Twitter for personal or business purposes.
