Twitter is one of the world's most popular microblogging services. Each message in it contains a maximum of 140 characters, but this is quite enough to convey your message to subscribers. Twitter appeared only in 2006, and by January 1, 2011 it had over 200 million registered users. Interesting pages are sometimes difficult to find, but the audience of some Twitter users continues to grow day by day.
