Twitter is a social messaging utility that helps us stay connected to our friends and loved one in real time. Started by three colleagues and used as an internal referencing site for the company ODEO, twitter soon got the repute it deserved. Within as less as two years, twitter found its feet and then slowly it began to envelop our conscience. Soon twitter was the noise every 20 something was making. This is only natural.

For years we have been handicapped by blog sites that have not given us ample space to exercise our expressive freedom. Words and characters have always been a constraint. Twitter allows you to communicate through a 140 character flux and adds the beauty of many creative expressions. This makes twitter work for teens. Another reason is that twitter has integrated its interface tweeter through face book. Now, this social networking community is another huge favorite with the teens and the just turned adolescents. Obviously the combination is quite inebriating for them and it lets them stay connected with fast, crisp, emoticon-oriented messages.

Twitter has a help desk that can tackle any question pertaining to it. Presently, despite mobilizing best twitter resources, the network keeps running on a backlog. There are just so many questions to tackle. Twitter resource desk helps you get started and find your feet with twitter. It also tells you about the way in which you can become completely twitter-compatible.

Twitter shows a “fail whale” when its network gate crashes. “Too many tweets, try another time” is the general message at such times. Twitter is planning to change its programming language from Scala or Krestel to Java or PHP. Twitter feels that this way, it can inhibit the downtime which in turn inhibits its capacity of performing.
