Want to learn about Twitter? Here's a 4-part series and a screencast
February 07, 2008

- Part One steps you through creating an account, editing your profile and getting started. She's done a nice job with screenshots to illustrate the steps.
- Part Two covers adding friends, twitter commands and lingo and what all the "@" messages are all about.
- Part Three talks about engaging in conversations on Twitter and also the fun aspect of how Twitter can help you meet up with people in real life.
- Part Four explains tinyurls, talks about how tweets can drive traffic to your website and also about "retweets".
All in all a nicely done series. She concludes part 4 with an indication that further installments will be forthcoming. Nice to see these kind of tutorials out there.
Second, Dave Delaney published today a screencast tutorial about Twitter (using Jing to record it). Dave covers some of the same kind of introductory material but in a screencast/video form. Again, a nice introduction.
