The choice is yours. Twitter is a social networking site in which you can post character status updates, otherwise known as "tweets", that can be seen by anyone who has chosen to follow you. Within the tweet, you can link to other articles or videos. Additionally, you can scroll through your Twitter homepage to see what other people, who you've chosen to follow, are posting.
