# 13Twitter

In looking over my list of 23 things I realized I hadn't spent much time on #13 Twitter. I wasn't able to pull up the video from youtube so I researched Twitter and here are a few things I learned:

• Twitter is an online social networking service that enable users to send and read text-based posts of up to 140 characers, known as "tweets".
• Influential people said to be using this social networking tool are Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga and Ashton Kutcher.
• Twitter has been used for a variety of purposes; it has been used to organize protests, sometimes referred to as "Twitter Revolutions", which include the 2011 Egyptian revolution Iranian election protest, and 2009 Moldova civil unrest.
