If you don't know what Twitter is, then get your head out of the dirt. The oddly simple Web-based messaging service has grown to such an extent that you can't go more than a day without hearing the words Twitter or tweet at least a few times. The secret of Twitter is the ability to send out short messages (140-character limit) to tons of people, at once. These messages are generally sent via cell phone to whoever is "following" you, but can also be sent from your computer. "Following" means that you've signed up for a free Twitter account and selected another account you want to keep up with. Here is more on twitter.
