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.
