Twitter

Twitter is a miniblog service. Posts are limited to 140 characters, which is the same limit for text messages. This is not by chance; Twitter allows status updates through its website, the Twitter IM buddy, and text messages from your mobile phone. twitterfeed adds automatic RSS posts to Twitter.
