Admit it. Even after reading the title of this post you have no idea what it is about. And I know you didn’t learn about Twitter on Compliance Week because I just got a big fat zero for my search result when searching for “Twitter” in the Compliance Week search box.
So… “Twittering?” Is that a compliment or criticism? Neither, technically, but a compliment in my opinion because Twitter is one of the fastest growing and most popular “Web 2.0” services and is becoming an important way that people and, well, securities regulators communicate with the rest of the world. Specifically, as defined by Wikipedia, Twitter is a “free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.”
