Twitter allows its users to send short messages (up to 140 characters) through web interface, SMS, instant messengers or other client software.
Head of Marketing Department of Unitel LLC Shavkat Berdiev said: "We are proud that we became the first to launch such a service in CIS. Twitter is becoming popular in our country very fast, which we can see on the example of our page www.twitter.com/beeline_uz, and we give our subscribers a unique opportunity to open a profile without computers. After the end of testing period, we are planning to launch the service on commercial basis."
