Twitter.....Are You Kidding Me?

Students..... I just created a twitter account as part of a technology challenge. How many of you have twitter accounts? You may have to help me out with this. I find it very confusing. It's terrific being able to follow several musicians, composers, symphony orchestras, etc.... but also mind numbing at first. It will take a little practice before I am able to navigate freely on this blog and on twitter. Any advice for your technology challenged teacher?
