Why are they confused? Simply put, it is like anything you try for the first time; it is unfamiliar and you get frustrated because it "seems" easy, but it turns out not to be so simple. So, if someone you trusts suggests that Twitter is "good for you" or that Twitter will make communication more simple, then perhaps you will want to follow the "process" I suggested the first day of class, i.e. Accept the CONFUSION; SILENCE that confusion and the fears associated with it; FOCUS in on the directions; finally, put in the necessary EFFORT, i.e. keep trying [and don't forget you can always ask for help].

However, I stay away from "automatic" anything because my feeling is that if we are all automating, then who is there to read what is being posted?

One thing I would add is to get some kind of a tool to help you manage your twitter account like tweetspinner, and similar tools. I find it very helpful to schedule my tweets, follow people that I'm interested in following, un-following people and following back those who have followed me. It's a real time saver. Thanks for sharing your informative and helpful post!

Or at least how many can you think of? And will these words get into the Oxford or Merriam-Webster Dictionary? “Tweeple will be fluttering around the Twittersphere — at least that’s my hope.” How many “Twitter-isms” are out there now?
