Tweets

 Twitter is an online social networking / micro blogging service and allows users to send, read and resend short text messages. A tweet is made up of 140 characters. For the purposes of the assignment you do not have to join twitter or post to twitter as the submission of your three ‘tweets’ only requires you to submit a hard copy. However, you may find it interesting to join twitter if you have not already done so. https://twitter.com/
