You have 140 characters of text to respond, and as soon as you hit Update, the site's millions of users can spot what you're up to. This small initiative has blossomed into an extremely popular trend with its users covering the entire globe.

This is the "social-networking and microblogging" site where you can read interesting and everyday quick takes such as "ate an apple" or "just had a great dinner date."
