A service program contains executable code for one or more services. A service program created with the type "SERVICE_WIN32" OWN_PROCESS contains the code for only one service. A service program created with the type "SERVICE_WIN32" SHARE_PROCESS contains code for more than one service, enabling them to share code. An example of a service program that does this is the generic service host process, "Svchost.exe", which hosts internal Windows services. Note that "Svchost.exe" is reserved for use by the operating system and should not be used by non-Windows services. Instead, developers should implement their own service hosting programs.A service program can be configured to execute in the context of a user account from either the built-in (local), primary, or trusted domain. It can also be configured to run in a special service user account.The following topics describe the interface requirements of the service control manager (SCM) that a service program must include:Service Entry PointService ServiceMain FunctionService Control Handler FunctionThese topics do not apply to driver services. For interface requirements of driver services, see the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).A service runs as a background process that can affect system performance, responsiveness, energy efficiency, and security. For service optimization guidelines, see Developing Efficient Background Processes for Windows.
Application Programming Interface, or how the program interacts with the Twitter service. You're limited to a set number of requests per hour (these happen when you submit a tweet, or you receive new tweets). Twhirl will automatically manage the API requests for you.
A "daemon" is a program that runs in the background without a graphical interface. In Windows parlance, this would be considered a "service". In the context of FTP and other related Internet technologies, a FTP daemon would be the program "service" that runs in the background (for which the term "server" can refer to the machine that runs such network-facing services or the services themselves).
Yes, they are the interface to kernel functionality. To quote wikipedia: a system call is how a program requests a service from an operating system's kernel that it does not normally have permission to run

A daemon is the equivalent of a "service" in Windows. It is a program that runs in the background and performs tasks without any need for interaction, such as a web server or a program to automatically sync to the correct time.
