140 characters - that's all the space you get to answer a simple question: "What Are You Doing?" What began as a simple idea has spread like wildfire, as an estimated 30 million users - from celebrities to corporate brands - have expanded the idea to what they're thinking, what they're reading, what they find of interest and value.
