As the quick-fingered contributors to Twit of the Year know, a lot can be said in 140 characters. Cut out the timewasting, self-promotion, breakfast updates and kittens, and the world of Twitter is revealed to be both glorious and cruel, not to mention strangely powerful. News stories may originate in the real world, but many of 2013's biggest happenings took new shape online - and, for some high-profile Tweeters, ended in a court appearance.

Here Jack Dee and a happy gaggle of well-known Tweeters survey the year in updates, though they're unlikely to dwell on the really nasty stuff. Expect a reminder of the timeline hits, PR gaffes and jaw-dropping messages shared by the many Tweeters who are in thrall to the little blue bird.
