Tips on Getting Started on Twitter

HOW TO BECOME A TWITTERER   
Think of Twitter as a social network that lets you tell your friends -- or the world -- what you are doing at any given time. It also lets you see what everyone else is up to. It's a kind of worldwide bulletin board of tiny -- some say trivial -- messages that form a huge mosaic of everyday activity.

If you haven't tried it, it can sound pretty confusing. You can post updates via mobile phone or the Web. Here's how to get started, culled from a guide at the Twitter site:

Sign up at Twitter.com
Once you're there, have a look around. The basic idea is to create a network of people and, increasingly, businesses and bloggers to share updates with. You can search the Twitter website to see if anyone you know already uses the service. You also can invite people to Twitter or find and follow perfect strangers. You decide how connected you want to be.

How it works
Once you've started your network, you can send a mobile text message (SMS) or post a message via the Web. Either way, Twitter sends it out to your network and posts it to your Twitter page.

Adding your instant message (IM) account to Twitter allows you to send or receive updates via IM.

Beyond simple "I'm going out for coffee" messages, some "tweets" have blossomed into full-blown news updates as Twitterers use tweets to share links to Web articles and videos.

How much does it cost?
It's free. But if you use mobile texts to send or receive updates, make sure you have a data plan for your cellphone.
