What the hell is "Twitter"?

I keep hearing about this thing called "Twitter" and want to know what the hell it is. Something similar to "Facebook" I suppose? I still haven't made an account for that stupid thing!

    It's basically the Facebook status feed without the rest of Facebook and you're limited to only 140 characters. People often update (or "tweet") with news stories about celebs and politics, random thoughts, and the ever-popular "what I'm doing at this very moment" status. I kid you not when I say there are people who update every hour just to say things like, "Got into the cab," "Saw an ugly haircut," or "Just walked past a bookstore." I sometimes see it as a conversation where everyone's talking but nobody's listening.

    Source(s): I use Twitter.
