John Hawkins from Right Wing News has a beginners guide to Twitter, for all you Luddites out there who haven’t signed up yet for the great conversation.

* Some people use Twitter as sort of a public instant messenger. They talk to their friends and acquaintances that way, but instead of doing it on AIM or ICQ, they do it on Twitter.

* Others use Twitter commercially to promote a product or website. For example, I use my Right Wing News account on Twitter to post links from this site, Conservative Grapevine, and Right Wing Video.

* Another possible usage of Twitter is to treat it like a blog with a 140 character limit per post.

Come on, isn’t it time you joined the rest of us?
