Twitter essentially is a 'micro blogging site'. WHat that actually means is that people are given 140 characters in which to convey messages. It is a broadcast medium where you choose to 'follow' any number of other users. For example, I have a lot of the top riders in the Tour on my follow list so I get nice little updates from Bradley Wiggins, Lance Armstrong, Levi Leipheimer etc every day. It's an insight into other peoples lives and I love it. I also follow friends and family to keep up to date and I tend to mention anything from the last MTB ride to how my garden is growing. It's up to others if they are interested or not but I have a few followers.

@AlexanderKJR

Just getting into it myself, only signed up to get the tweets of the TDF riders but slowly becoming addicted. Seems a great way to post a pic and a few words about your most recent ride.

I'm on there, but I only follow strange musical artistes who give freebees away. I never update and have no intention of doing so really.

Have a look at MrNutt's profile - he's got 1000s of followers!

Any I T super genius amongst the STW massive fancy coming across here to get it working, it's worth a serious amount of coffee and cake.

I'm @jasonwd

The great thing is you can connect it to facebook so you never have to go there. Also, it's is much nicer if you use an aggregator like Eventbox to collate all the services.

interesting follows:
chuck_i - Chuck Ibis
chausson - Anne Caroline
StevePeat
bikerumor

.. any more?

Still don't get it. Finally understand how Facebook works and quite enjoy it for keeping in touch/gossiping with friends i rarely see.

How does twitter actually work? Is it like a mini facebook, or is it based on your mobile? How often do you post something? does it arrive via text or email. As said, i still don't get it.

Sorry for being a numpty.
