Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest stories, ideas, opinions and news about what you find
interesting. Simply find the accounts you find most compelling and follow the conversations.

At the heart of Twitter are small bursts of information called Tweets. Each Tweet is 140 characters long, but don’t let the small size fool you—you can discover a lot in a little space. You can see photos, videos and
conversations directly in Tweets to get the whole story at a glance, and all in one place.

A Personal Learning Network (PLN) includes the diverse people,
organizations, and systems we informally interact with in order to learn.
