Since using Facebook solely as a social utility, sharing pictures with friends and family, seeing what folks are up to for the weekend etc. It has been interesting, but fun adjustment learning how to use Twitter as a constructive and engaging tool to complement traditional marketing and comm. for small businesses, organizations and non-profits. I definitely don't think I was alone when I say, Twitter can be overwhelming at times, and certainly does seem to be in another language, moving at the speed of light. I thought, okay, how hard could this be? In previous positions I worked all day with Medicare acronyms, did you know there is a specific code and acronym for cutting your toenails?! Crazy! Logging into Twitter and just beginning to translate the #, @, via, to RT or not to RT? ...and WHAT DOES RT EVEN MEAN?! Just kidding, I know what it means, but I was making a point. Anyway, thanks for always writing these posts from multiple perspectives and for people with multiple levels of understanding. I feel that these days, a lot of the content on SN is either too high level and general or in the weeds. Here is a great YouTube video that is also very helpful called "Twitter in Plain English." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddO9idmax0o&feature=player_embedded Great post Joanna.

I signed up months ago, found it unfriendly, got impatient, and have been waiting for you (apparently) to clear up my confusion. Also, I'm wary of becoming an addict. Just in case, what's the link to a Twitter 12-step program? Thanks for the useful tips, Joanna.

That's how I found about about this blog post, after all! It takes a little getting used to, but it is truly amazing how much info you can shoehorn into 140 characters. As time goes on it will become second nature to more and more people, without doubt. Garry Twitter is awesome. That’s how I found about about this blog post, after all!

Big thumbs up to "You don't twitter, you tweet." That's my big Twitter-related pet peeve. When I first started using Twitter, I couldn't figure out #ftw and #fb, and I ended up having to ask someone, and I felt stupid. Twitter can feel clique-ish and inclusive, but it can also be receptive, so I encourage people with questions to just tweet it, and people are great about responding back. Great post!
