Twitter is the most popular "short message"/"microblogging" social medium. It provides users a platform through which they can publish 140-character “Tweets” for the entire “Twitterverse” to see. Users can post unique messages, as well as links to photos, videos, other websites, etc. Users can engage in activities such as sending Direct Messages to one another, Tweeting publicly at other Twitter users, ReTweeting messages posted by others, or commenting on popular topics utilizing hashtags (#).
