Hi Laurie,

Skype me (or just turn it on) and I'll give you a crash course on Twitter.

Alex and Roy,

That time it worked! Thank you.

Roy - I have to get ready for a call at noon, could we do the crash course this afternoon?

[Sharon & Roy]

Absolutely Laurie!

Twitter is allot of fun.
I am getting news headlines, talking to twits that other wise would not be able to have contact.

Learn about new tools on the internet that work with twitter and other social media sites.

Very cool is Twitter.

Lynn, et all,

I'm using a Twitter client called twhirl, which makes the tweets all pop up. I love it. http://www.twhirl.org/ Very cool.

Good question.

Twitter is a site that allows users to post an update (very much like Facebook's Status Update) in 140 characters or less. Everyone chooses a group of people whose updates they want to read - these are the people you Follow.

Other people, sometimes the same people you Follow and sometimes not, choose to Follow you (these are your Followers).

It turns out that posting little updates about your life and reading others is a great way to get to know people. Twitter is a terrific relationship building tool.

But, here's the deal...until someone tries Twitter they don't usually understand it. It is something you need to experience to understand.

My advice is to try it out.

I just join twitter. Still confuse how to use it.

Do you get traffic from twitter?
