Its name in Chinese means microblog and, in fact, it allows us to post messages of up to 140 characters (and in Chinese that gives you room for much more content than in English). Here, we can discover all sorts of trendy contents, follow famous people, find publications of our interest, share any contents we like such as images or videos...
