Twitter is a free service that lets you send one line (140 character) updates to anyone who has "subscribed" or has indicated an interest in following what you have to say. The one liners are called "tweets" and they are responses to the question, "What are you doing?"
Twitter Search in Plain English, from Commoncraft.com
Select a username and password, enter your e-mail and click I accept.
If you want, you can invite any of your contacts from gmail, hotmail, yahoo, aol or msn.You can add any other people at any time.
Search for friends on Twitter and click Follow to see what they are writing.
From settings, enter your name and adjust the time zone and location.
Upload a profile picture. You can use sites like iPhoto, Skitch, ImageWell, etc. edit your photo. Note: For students (and yourself, if desired) you may want to recommend an avatar or image other than an actual photo.
@ function - comments are directed to one person but others can also see them. Write their name eg. @jane I hope you are feeling better
@ function within message - if a message contains @jane, eg. I'm shopping with jane, the name will be a link to Jane's Twitter page.
d function - this is how you send a direct and private message to one specific person, eg. d Jane Wondering how you are? No one else will be able to follow this message.
Some things to keep in mind:
Don't bore the peole who are following you. Would YOU want to read what you wrote?
Don't post anything that compromises your safety, eg. personal info.
Don't post anything that might reflect badly on you, your workplace or your friends. It's the net!
Decide if you are using Twitter for business or personal. The two might not be compatible.

Make sure that you customize the text etc. to coordinate with your background. Some people add their contact or business info to the sides.
