Twitter can be used in so many ways. Use # hashtags to follow specific topics or @ to address certain people. Visit Cybraryman's Educational # page at http://cybraryman.com/edhashtags.html to find a great list of # topics to follow. Don't expect to get everything Twitter offers just as it is unreasonable to expect to catch every fish in a river. Just visit when you can, catch what you can, and add some good ideas and source for others to use. Create a TweetDeck account to organize the # and @ you are following. It's much easier than trying to do it all on Twitter.
