You have 140 characters of text to respond, and as soon as you hit Update, the site's millions of users can spot what you're up to. This small initiative has blossomed into an extremely popular trend with its users covering the entire globe. What it does, in a simple and impressive way, is to unite a number of fascinating trends in IM status messages , social software usage, lightweight occurrence indicators, and personal blogging —into a fascinating blend of permanence, public and private. This is the "social-networking and microblogging" site where you can read interesting and everyday quick takes such as "ate an apple" or "just had a great dinner date." But in spite of the service's apparently insignificant function, which causes many to ignore it and can at times make it like listening to other peoples' cell-phone chat, Twitter fills a space left by other forms of communication.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden" /&gt;&lt;input id="jsProxy" onclick="jsCall();" type="hidden" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden" /&gt;&lt;input id="jsProxy" onclick="jsCall();" type="hidden" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
