My Twitter FAQ

Being a big fan of Twitter, I am often mentioning it to people.  Seems there are some who really get it and there are just as many who really don't.  Whether you use it or not, you should at least understand what it is so you can see whether it fits in with your life, business or personal.   It's much more than a cute little tool for sucking time out of your life.  If it's used right, it should actually save you time! 

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Here I am putting together a bit of an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).  I'll use a variety of sources to answer each question.

Part of my idea to do this came from the observation that a lot of my friends have accounts on Twitter, but seem to have stopped there.  Usually this occurs from a lack of understanding of some kind so I'm going to attempt to address that here a bit.
