What does TWITTER do?
Twitter :: the kids all do this thing "tweet" ... can anyone explain it briefly. If one sends out a 'tweet' ... who reads it? Is it like FB, just your friends, or others and how does others know...

Technically: Twitter is a service that forwards SMS text messages to subscribers who register to receive them.
Business: If sent and received by phone, sender pays for one SMS, per tweet, each subscriber pays for one to recieve it. Since many U.S. mobile users are already paying for unlimited SMS, number of tweets doesn't matter to them. Twitter account holders have the option to initiate and view tweets on Twitter's web site.
