It is kind of like Twitter or like IM. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">It can be put out as public for the whole web to view or private where only certain people can view it. It can be viewed online or through a message such as instant messaging or as a text message to a mobile device. **

Just like Twitter, IM, or even Facebook like we said above. **
