tweets
Birds' morning sounds
Tweets are short messages posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), limited to 280 characters.
The term comes from the bird imagery of Twitter's early branding—small chirps rather than lengthy posts.
As a verb, to tweet is to post such a message: She tweeted about the concert.
The word has become shorthand for any brief public statement online, often quoted in news coverage: The CEO's tweet sparked controversy.
