One of my good Twitter friends, Junior, aka @EQDJ on Twitter, wrote a great post…  Twitter Basics. Here is a teaser below, but make sure to go read his whole post.

I began using Twitter last year and I love it. It’s the social media I use most often.

What is Twitter?
Twitter is microblogging. A phrase I often hear is, “I don’t get it.” Do you “get” blogging? Twitter is blogging with a 140 character limit. Like blogging you can tweet from the web, with desktop apps, or with your phone (only if you have unlimited text or unlimited internet – otherwise, don’t do it from your phone). Do you not “get” blogging? Then I can’t help you.

Also, look me up, @ReneeAnn on Twitter . I’m there more often than I’m here.

I ran across this great “how to” video for Google Reader. If you are already a user, you might find some nice tips also.

But, if you are new to the terms RSS (Really Simple Syndication), feeds, feed-reader… check out this video. One tip… if you are not familiar with feed-readers, a feed-reader is like a nice little mailbox for nearly the entire Internet. Any Internet page you want to keep tabs on is delivered to your feed-reader every time new content is added. And it is easy to subscribe, unsubscribe and share your favorites with others.

A search engine that allows you to search specific Craiglist categories. Clean and easy to use.

CraigsFindr.com – Craigslist Power Search Engine.

Research a word on the web page you are reading. The basics of Hyperwords is simple: select a word, choose a command from the Hyperwords pop-up menu and there you go.

It’s really cool. I’ve just used it for a day, but really like it.
