Twitter FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

I've received several inquiries about Twitter; most ask what Twitter is or how you use it. Rather than take time (that could otherwise be spent billing hours) to explain it all, I'll let the Twitter folks do it for me:

Twitter FAQ:
What is it?
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

How do I use it?
Tell us what you're doing in 140 characters or less! Send your thoughts, observations, and goings-on in your day. Whether you're "eating an apple" or "looking foward to the weekend" or "Heading out of town" it's twitter-worthy. Join us here.

How can I send updates to Twitter?
Send updates to friends and family about what you're doing in the way that works best for you. Update in myriad ways:

* from your phone
* from your logged-in home page
* from m.twitter.com.
* from any of the third party applications on Twitter Fan Wiki

What does it mean to follow someone on Twitter?
Following someone simply means receiving their Twitter updates. How you receive the updates (on your phone, IM, or just on the web) is up to you. You can set your following preferences based on device, and then set notification preferences for each person you follow. Your followers are those who have elected to receive your twitters.

And there is much, much more at the link provided. Enjoy twittering.
