Twitter: it’s an extremely simple and social microblogging tool where users can post 140 characters at a time about what’s going on or in reply to someone else. While that might not sound ridiculous on its face, the service is sometimes written off as nothing more than a silly hobby or fad—narcissism masquerading as a “what I had for lunch today” diary.
