I came across one question from my friend.
He asked,is twitter a social book marking?
I replied, no it is a microblogging.
There is a difference between two.
He showed me online that some sites are using the term "social bookmark site" for twitter.
I am gettting confused.
Help me out.....

Twitter is mostly used for social networking (since you can choose which timelines to follow and have people follow you), but it is also a micro-blogging site.

Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters, displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to other users - known as followers - who have subscribed to them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access.

No, twitter is not a social bookmarking. It is a SOCIAL NETWORKING site instead. The site allows a member to post status updates where other members can follow.

Twitter is both a social networking service which focuses on building online communities of people who share the same interests, and a micro-blogging service that allows users to send brief updates to be viewed by their followers.

I don't really consider twitter as a social bookmarking site. But more on a social networking and mini-blog site.

It can be both but twitter is best known as a miniature blog. Micro-blogging is defined as a quick update usually containing a very limited number of characters. It is a popular features of social networks like Facebook where you can update your status, but it has become best known because of Twitter.
