Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, over 6  million people worldwide have \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctweeted\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to date.<\/p>\n<p>Through SMS, users can communicate with Twitter through five  gateway numbers: short codes for the United States, Canada, India, New  Zealand, and an Isle of Man-based number for international use. There  is also a short code in the United Kingdom which is only accessible to  those in the Vodafone network.<\/p>\n<p>People who use Twitter write short messages, called Tweets, which they  publish either publicly (for all Twitterers to see) or privately (for  only certain Twitterers to see). Typically, users will sign up to  follow other users whose Tweets they enjoy. For this reason, Twitter  can be a great tool for networking, relationship building and promoting  blogs.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses also use Twitter to promote products and services and offer  real time customer service. Twitter provides an excellent source of  publicity and can be used effectively to source products and services  and to get new customers from new markets. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s simple, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s social and  it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s free.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has attracted many celebrity users who have utilized the  service for publicity. American actor Ashton Kutcher is the most  followed twitterer on the service and is the first user to reach the  one million follower mark, beating CNN in a much publicized contest.  Comedian Ellen DeGeneres and singer Britney Spears are second and third  place in respective followers.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not Tweet as yet, start your account at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.twitter.com<\/a>.
