In one of my classes last week, we somehow started to talk about Twitter. And most of the students and especially professor were like “What is Twitter anyway?” Probably the question almost everyone who sees the Twitter page for the first time asks himself or herself. I did the same. Fortunately, I took Social Media class, where I learned a lot about Twitter and its strategical usage. But there are also other ways to clear the mystery around Twitter and answer the questions that might arise when using or at least trying to use Twitter.

Good job of explaining what Twitter is and how to use it does the video Twitter in Plain English. If you rather see the person you are listening to, you might want to watch How to Use Twitter. In case you prefer reading, you shouldn’t have problems with finding several articles and blog posts explaining Twitter and giving tips about its usage. Among them are How to Use Twitter – Tips for Bloggers and How to Use Twitter Without Twitter Owning You – 5 Tips. And probably the best way to get familiar with the Twitter – star using it. Explore, play around, tweet your questions and problems you may encounter. I’m sure at least someone will give you useful advice.
