“It is part text messaging and part blogging, with the ability to update on your cellphone or computer, but constrained to 140 characters,” I told my barber today when she asked me to define Twitter.

Why be confusing with verbiose descriptions, I figure. Be like this boat: keep your definition to the primary motivations of what it is.

Curious readers may be tickled to learn there are more than 14 ways to define Twitter.
