Since 2006 Twitter has carved itself into a niche market between SMS (or text messages) and blogging, and with its ever increasing popularity has taken microbloging to new levels.
A typical blog is a website which is consistently updated and allows users to post comments and interact with content and the authors. Twitter allows users to send and receive messages from cellphones in the form of text messages or "tweets" as they are called. This means that they have only 140 characters available and even the best of ideas have to be compacted into a quick and easy blurb.
