Twitter is a constantly growing social network where people share small blurbs about everything from what they are doing to what they are eating, where they are, and everything in between. While the character limit is small, it is more than enough for many people, and they use this application to communicate with their friends, families, and even celebrities. If you have never used Twitter, then you will need to install it to your phone first of all.
