Twitter, in short a micro blogging platform. Each tweet (similar to a blog post) is 140 characters long. Its broadcasted to all your followers. Followers - people or a twitter account that's willing to listen to all your updates. Following - people or twitter accounts from whom you would like to receive updates. So whats the deal? What do you tweet? Why another platform? To me it follows K.I.S.S policy - Keep It Simple Stupid. People write about what they are doing right now, what they are thinking right now, what they are watching right now (twitpic), what they are reading (tinyurl, is.gd) and literally anything that can be squeezed within 140 characters.
But why? No one really knows. Why do you want to know that someone is sitting in a football stadium, someone is coding, someone doing something. It never really makes sense. Already there is enough information that one can know in a life time. Its like shouting on public server, where every key stroke is archived. You can analyse using tweet stats.
Its seems like everybody knows everybody, but everybody knows nobody.

@Varun Chinks! Yeah it happens. It happened to me too today! Someone else in my blogosphere posted the same. So I had to hold. But post it.
I can recognize 2 people in that WHOOOOLE group.
And wait, 140 words?? ONLY 140 words? Knowing me, you know that is impossible for me. No wonder I'm not on Twitter.
@revsjoiedrvivre Hey its 140 characters not words. I know even your sms's are bigger than that :)
