Tweet

A tweet is a post on Twitter, the platform subsequently renamed X. The term is retained as historical and everyday vocabulary

What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.

What it is and how it works

It can refer to messages combining text and other resources. The platform's terminology and limits have changed, so the definition does not depend on a fixed character count. The post should be distinguished from replies, quotes and reshares, which add different contexts to the original message.
