File photo dated 30/11/15 of the logo of social network site Twitter reflected in a pair of glasses. Twitter is trialling a new 280-character limit on tweets to help users get around the “constraints” posed by certain languages.

“It’s what’s happening.”

This is how Twitter describes itself, the tagline it uses to attract people to come and enjoy interactions with others through the attention span-friendly brevity of 140 characters – and perhaps a gif or two.

But how does its users see it? Well, rather fittingly through the medium of a hashtag, we now know. Here’s nine ways to describe Twitter in four words.

1. #justTwitterthings

2. #politics

3. #socialmediawars

4. #theInternetneversleeps

5. #irony

6. #therapy

7. #connectingpeople

8. #allaboutthegifs

9. #needsanimprovement
