Twitter is a great way to "join the conversation." As a part of the global Twitter community, you can tweet your thoughts on topics from serious to mundane. By default, all tweets are public, which means anyone with a Twitter account can see everything you post.
If you want more privacy, you can change your Twitter settings so only people who follow you can see what you write — this is called Protected Tweets. Because you get to personally approve followers, that gives you substantial control over who can see your tweets.
