No? Please start.
What's Twitter? In my own words (meaning, not cut and pasted from the official description on the site), it's a way to get brief (litterally... 140 characters) updates on your friends. What they are thinking, what they are doing, a cool article they just read. Whatever. When you set up an account, you can follow others. You can even follow news sites, so you get updates on breaking news.
Side note... I fully realize that me getting into all this "2.0" stuff is probably what you all are going to throw in my face when I say things like, "I'm okay with turning 30. Really." Mike has his flip flops "the kids are wearing these days," and I have my Web toys "the kids are creating these days."
Back to Twitter: It's kind of like a status on Facebook (you are on Facebook, right? I'm not too old to be on Facebook, am I?). You can follow others by going to the Twitter Web site and seeing their updates, or my favorite, get the updates sent as text messages to your phone. You can even follow people you don't really know, so long as they have an open profile. For example, I'm following this woman I've never met before, but who has a really funny blog that Lauren told me about. If I thought her blog was funny, her Twitters are hysterical!
So, go, set up a Twitter account, and tell me about it, so I can start following you... I promise not to tell you you're too old to Twitter.
