Twitter is a social networking and microblogging
service that allows you answer the question, "What are you doing?" by
sending short text messages 140 characters in length, called "tweets",
to your friends, or "followers." The short format of the tweet is a defining characteristic of the service,
allowing informal collaboration and quick information sharing that provides
relief from rising email and IM fatigue. Twittering is also a less gated
method of communication: you can share information with people that you wouldn't
normally exchange email or IM messages with, opening up your circle of contacts
to an ever-growing community of like-minded people.
You can send your messages using the Twitter website directly, as a single
SMS alert, or via a third-party application such as Twirl, Snitter, or the
Twitterfox add-on for Firefox. (See below for links to Twitter
tools and applications.)
Your tweets are displayed on your profile page, on the home page of each
of your followers, and in the Twitter
public timeline (unless you disable this in your account settings.)

Cena's
first televised WWE match was in answer to an open challenge by Kurt
Angle on June 27, 2002. Inspired by Vince McMahon's speech to WWE's
rising stars, exhorting them to show "ruthless aggression" to earn a
place among the legends, Cena took advantage of the
opportunity and almost beat Kurt Angle kicking out of the Angle Slam and
enduring the ankle Lock submission hold, but ultimately lost to a hard,
amateur-style pin.
Though a huge WWE fan since childhood, rooting for heroes like Hulk
Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, and Shawn Michaels, Cena had honestly never
even considered a career in WWE. Instead, he flew out to California in
2000, to pursue a profession in bodybuilding (a move he now admits to
making simply because his father had told him he wouldn't make it out
there). But while working behind the counter of Gold's Gym in Venice, a
discussion with a wrestler-in-training encouraged Cena to enroll in
classes at Ultimate Pro Wrestling. He was instantly hooked, and became
motivated to learn everything he could about his newfound craft. He
obviously proved a quick study; within a year, WWE signed Cena to a
developmental contract to train at Ohio Valley Wrestling. By June 2002,
he had joined the SmackDown roster, and less than a year later headlined
the first of what has since become countless main-event matches.
That
said, Cena has never forgotten his roots. In fact, remembering where he
came from has helped him evolve into the man he is today: A well-versed
hip-hop artist, a successful movie star and a blue-collared Superstar
who's always ready to fight. He leads his WWE fan-based army into battle
with the mission statement he's been down with since Day One: Hustle,
loyalty and respect.
