What is it? Well, it seems to be a place where you tell what you are doing. Anythink you want to tell about, whether exciting or mundane. "Going to bed early tonight." "Just watched a great movie." "Feeling lonely." "I'm in good mood today." Whatever! The message cannot be more than 140 characters, so there isn't a lot to read.
From the Twitter site: "Isn't Twitter just too much information? No, in fact, Twitter solves information overload. At Twitter, we ask one question, "What are you doing?" The result of using Twitter to stay connected with friends, relatives, and coworkers is that you have a sense of what folks are up to but you are not expected to respond to any updates unless you want to. This means you can step in and out of the flow of information as it suits you and it never queues up with increasing demand of your attention. Additionally, users are very much in control of whose updates they receive. Simply put, Twitter is what you make of it--receive a lot of information about your friends, or just a tiny bit. It's up to them."

Ok, well I signed up, so how do you receive information? I thought it was by phone.
You can receive it by phone if you want, but then you would have to pay for text messages. Or you can just go to the twitter site.
I was wondering what this Twitter thing is. Sort of weird to me.
