What is Twitter? I don't understand it. Is it part of Facebook or something?

It's a site that allows users to post status updates like Facebook, but you're limited to 140 characters. It's become quite the trendy social networking site.

A bunch of local Tweeters had the Hawaii Twisteval last Thursday, an event that raised $6,000 for charity.

Lots of celebrities have joined the Twitter bandwagon as well -- John Mayer, Demi Moore, and Ashton Kutcher are by far my favorite celeb Tweeters.

So it's a site of just status updates? Or can you post other things as well?

I don't know anyone on Twitter (although my sorority just started on Twitter).

People post links as well, but they tend to use tools that make the URL shorter, like tinyurl.com, since it's limited to 140 characters.

It's a big help during rush hour. People shouldn't be Tweeting while they drive, obviously, but I know which roads to avoid when I'm going home because of Twitter, lol.

Like AOIIAlum said, they've got really good phone apps.
