Twitter started in March of 2006 as a side project. It has now the fastest growing social network on the whole of the internet. Users send SMS style messages with a maximum of 140 characters (called ‘micro-blogging) to their friends completely free. Through Twitter’s own search engine and other third parties, users also broadcast these 140 characters to the world. This means that real-time news is now available on the internet!
