New to Twitter? Twitter is is a service that allows people to stay connected with friends, associates, candid celebrities and businesses and organizations (like Travel Portland!) through the exchange of short status updates. In 140 characters or less, you can let your circle of "followers" know every interesting (or deadly boring) thing you’re up to, and keep up with those you "follow." It’s amazing what 140 little characters can convey, and the process of "tweeting" is surprisingly satisfying — which might explain why Twitter is one of the fastest-growing networks on the Web.
