I have had people ask me - what’s Twitter? (You may’ve seen it on my facebook profile status). So what is twitter?

Twitter is sort of like blogging, but on a micro scale. 140 characters is all you get in each post.

So how does it work?

I post something short and sweet either via the web or sms.

Then, friends of mine (fellow twitterers) who subscribe to my Twitter page receive an instant update on their Twitter page.

And here’s where it starts getting fun….

When you read a Tweet (Twitter post) you like, you can reply to it and comment back, which makes it a bit like community instant messaging.

Twittering can be a bit addictive BUT it’s GREAT if you’re a bit ADD and it’s a pretty amazing way to communicate quickly with a whole lot of people.

To give twitter a go or to subscribe to my Tweets, go to my Twitter page: www.twitter.com/hismethod and click on “Join Today.” Basic!

Twhirl is a great desktop app which keeps you updated on what your twitter friends are up to with out you needing to refresh the twitter.com page. You can also post, reply and direct message from this app. Really handy.

So what are waiting for - get twittering!
