There is so much on the Internet about Twitter it can be confusing. So lets keep it simple. I have found several really good articles for Newbies.
New to Twitter Start Here.
DoshDosh gives a very good explanation of twitter is and what it can and is used for.You will need to decide on what Twitter identity you will be.

Sheila, I have an account w/Twitter.
.
I have reviewed few articles and guidance about efective Twitter use.
I am still struggling to find the fine line between good ROI for my time and the noise.
It seriously bothers me that Twitter is all over and I cannot get no satisfaction from it

Personally… I’m tired of all the push to market on Twitter… but I feel that if I don’t… I’ll be left behind. One good thing is… you can really get the pulse of what folks are thinking… look at the Susan Boyle phenomenon. There were over 20 millions YouTube views in less than a week. Talk about viral success.
Twitter doesn’t seem to be slowing down… to bad they didn’t think to ask for $5.00 per year to join.

I totally understand. I think is a matter of deciding what tools you are going to use and learning how to use them effectively.
Personally I have really enjoyed learning to use twitter. I find very good links and have made some pretty good friends. I also like being able to quickly put a thought out there and to forward the good I find.

Hi Sheila,
I don’t twitter yet, but you have certainly given me great insights into this tool. Soon, very soon. LOL
My comment is directed more right now to say, I love your sight.
My time has been taken up lately by things…oh those things.
There is no doubt in my mind, it is a priority importance to give your sight & the information you provide a regularly scheduled time slot in my day.
Looking forward with great excitement to our on-line relationship.

Twitter are the new newsgroups which used to be a lot of fun to swap files, chat or just read when you have time to catch up with people. Newsgroups were great, until they became completely flooded with spammers spewing garbage posts. Twitter is likely to end the same way. But it will be fun while it lasts.
