So instead of long blog posts, you issue short updates. These updates can be anything: random thoughts, relevant comments, or recommendations. What’s more these one-liners are compatible with portable technology like mobile phones, which means that more people are likely to receive your broadcasts.

Although you can think of Twitter as a quick blog, an instant messaging system, a chat room window, or an open forum, its real genius lies in its brevity and ubiquity.
