    Twitter



    Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest stories, ideas, opinions and news about what you find interesting. 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 because you can discover a lot in a little space. Simply find the accounts you find most compelling and follow the conversations. Follow Oldiez 96.1 on Twitter here.
