If you know me, than you know I’m a huge fan of Twitter. Twitter, although hard to explain to your average web 2.0-illiterate person, is really quite simple. I thought, ok, if I had to explain Twitter to my Mom and she could understand it, than anyone could. I have yet to successfully explain gmail to my Mom so you can see what I’m working with here.

Across to who? Well, whoever thinks your interesting enough to follow. Twitter is also social messaging. Twitter is also news reporting. It is anything you want it to be, without having to type a lot and these days, who has time to do that?
So who follows you and who do you follow? That is a good question and one that I will answer shortly. First, I ask you to stop reading and go join Twitter. Once you’ve joined, come back here and read this super awesome tutorial that explains everything you may (or may not) have wanted to know about Twitter. But first, follow me.
