Tweeting

What can I say about Twitter that hasn't already been said? Nothing much so I'll just blab about it because blabbing about nothing (much like Seinfeld) is a gift of mine. I'm still pretty new at 'tweeting' but have discovered it's addictive nature.
My first suggestion if you want to tweet, is to be careful. You can spend hours on this site, trying to keep up with what's being tweeted and replying and direct messaging and....oh, the craziness of it all. But as in my last post, I would say to dive in and just start by having fun. Tweet a little 'this', tweet a little 'that' and before you know it, you'll find people of common interests following you. Then you'll get into reply tweeting and direct message tweeting and so on tweeting.
My second suggestion is to search for common interests and follow those people. It's so fun to send a quick tweet to someone who cares about the same things that you do because they 'get' you on that level. Now, I don't know anything about looking under the hood of a 1964 'vette, but you can find someone who does, tweet a little comment, and they will completely understand where you are coming from. Even with only the tiny 140 character tweet! But me, I'd need a long blog to describe the workings of the 'vette to get you.
My third suggestion is that humor works. Especially when you are first starting out. Make a funny quip or post a funny quote. But be careful here, sometimes when you think something is funny, it comes across differently when typed. Don't be offensive. When people get to know you, they'll be more appreciative of your inner comedian.
And last, people are funny and nice and helpful. If you have a question, tweet it! Several people will try to respond and give you advice on your question or suggest places on the web where you can find an answer.
Here are a couple sites to enhance your twittering experience; www.twhirl.org/, mytwittertoolbar.com, and www.tweetdeck.com. Just copy and paste them into your browser because I sure couldn't figure out how to post them here as links.(sorry)
This sums up my twicks for tweeting in twitterville.
