Last year it was Facebook. Today’s shiny new object unquestionably is Twitter. If you haven’t heard of Twitter (it’s now just about in the mainstream), it’s simple to describe: Twitter is a service for friends, family, and coâ€“workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
