So what is this new social media thing Twitter all about I hear you ask?
Well I have been on Twitter for about a year or so. It is a quick message writing service where you can publish notes that anyone can view. Kind of like a blog page but more like a 'status update'. Those who have used Facebook will know what I mean.
There has been a huge surge in popularity as more celebrity users come on board. Oprah did a special on it one day and the users doubled overnight or something.
Anyway - if you want a more comprehensive description of Twitter and how it works then it is off to YouTube which has loads of 'How-To' type videos about Twitter. The MakeUseOf blog has compiled a list of 7 good choices to start.
