Over Thanksgiving, why not load up Twitter on your laptop or cell phone? If you don’t know how, a niece or nephew can always help! Think of how hip you’ll be. Twitter. Blogging. Social networking. What’s next? A tattoo?

What is Twitter?
Often called micro-blogging, Twitter is a simple form of communication using 140-character messages that enable people to stay in touch quickly. It’s also referred to as a form of “social networking” or Web 2.0 technology along with other popular sites such as Facebook (which tried to buy Twitter for $500M), MySpace, LinkedIn, Flickr and Youtube.
Twitter is not just for kids. Don’t be fooled, it’s becoming a mainstream phenomena that cuts across age and social strata. CEOs, VPs, venture capitalists use it here in Silicon Valley, to stay abreast on breaking deals, news and events.
