How does Twitter work?

Answer 1

Twitter is comprised of tweets that are 140 characters or less. People use it to quickly "blog" about their everyday life to those who are following them. Your followers are people who want to be updated on your tweets and will see them on their time line. People's tweets that you follow will also appear on your time line. You can send tweets to individual users by beginning your tweet with @username ('username' being the person's actual username). If you follow someone who is also following you back, the ability to send "direct messages" (Private messages) will be enabled and you can have private conversations with others, although these are still 140 characters or less. There is also the ability to make "lists." You can add specific people you follow to a list so that by going to this list, you will see only those people's tweets. For example, you might make a list with your favourite bands/artists, so you can quickly view all your tweets in one place.

Answer 2

You search 'twitter' in Google, go to the first link, and set up an account.

To start off, you just click in the box underneath where it says 'What are you doing?'

and type in what you are currently doing or thinking.

WARNING: You MUST have an interesting life to gain followers and use Twitter properly.

The just-launched Twitter Lists feature is a new way to organize the people you're following on Twitter, or find new people. In actuality, though, Twitter Lists are Twitter's long awaited "groups" feature. They offer a way for you to bunch together other users on Twitter into groups so that you can get an overview of what they're up to. That's because Lists aren't just static listings of users, but rather curated Twitter streams of the latest tweets from a specified set of users.

In other words, you can create a list that groups together people for whatever reason (the members of your family, for example), and then you can get a snapshot of the things those users are saying by viewing that list's page, which includes a complete tweet stream for everyone on the list. Lists allow you to organize the people you're following into groups, and they even allow you to include people you're not following.

Answer 4

Hopelessly, I'm either ignored because of the volume of the recipient, or I don't know squat about figuring out the instructions helpfully given by the support team at Twitter on how to know Tweet people (actually only two) listed on sign-up receive my response to their Tweets. Any advice for Twitter for Dummies?

It almost works like Facebook. When you sign up, you pick a picture and you can edit your profile. Connect with friends and family by "tweets" and following.
