How much do you think you can say in 140 characters or less?! Twitter has been an instrumental new tool in the world of social networking. Some people tweet on the latest news & happenings in Iran. Others ... simply to tell you they just finished their grilled cheese sandwich from last night.
Regardless of content, tweeting or twittering or whatever you choose to call these 140-character messages ... they're taking the news world by storm. Even our family here at TODAY has taken part in the twitterific fun! Let's take a look at what some of our TODAY tweeters have recently been up to...
@Ann Curry often tweets poignant quotes like this one from Sunday evening..."Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm."-Sir Winston Churchill

@AlRoker offers his followers on Twitter their very own "Tweather" updates in 140 characters or less...take this tweet: Another upper low anchors over the NE creating another lousy wx pattern after Wednesday. 3rd wettest/4th coldest June on record in NYC
