Twitter how to intro: What Twitter is and the basics of what it does.

Welcome to the world of Twitter, a micro-blogging or status update platform. Think blogging but mini or micro. Your updates may only be up to 140 characters. When you write a new blogpost, article, or squidoo lens, create a new video or just about anything else, be sure to post the link on Twitter. People will see your tweets or twits (a tweet or twit is an update) and they may click the link you are posting about. You don't even have to log-in to Twitter to post if you use one of the many devices and applications available.
