Good question.
Twitter is a site that allows users to post an update (very much like Facebook's Status Update) in 140 characters or less. Everyone chooses a group of people whose updates they want to read - these are the people you Follow.
Other people, sometimes the same people you Follow and sometimes not, choose to Follow you (these are your Followers).
It turns out that posting little updates about your life and reading others is a great way to get to know people. Twitter is a terrific relationship building tool.
But, here's the deal...until someone tries Twitter they don't usually understand it. It is something you need to experience to understand.
My advice is to try it out.
