What is Twitter after all

Twitter describes itself as, “a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay associated through the transaction of quick, repeated responses to one simple thought: What are you doing?”

If you’re new Twitter, then that description might seem to be a bit vague and ambiguous. So, to help you wrap your mind all around the short-form messaging tool, start thinking about about Twitter as a new form of online interaction. Twitter is just communication in a new shape, but it’s also a platform for playing to the interaction of others in new ways.
