Twitter is mainly used like facebook so people can find out what their favorite celebrities are up to. I have one where I'm following my favorite bands/singers and most of the time, the artists will follow you back or retweet you. It's kind of fun really. I'm on my second twitter account because I forgot the log in information for the first one. >.>
Haha, I knew that feeling well when I first started using it. I'm on my 3rd Twitter account because I never used the first 2. Now I tweet like there's no tomorrow.
Took me awhile to get used to it. I felt like an idiot when I first started using it. Took me forever to figure out a hashtag can be like an emphasis on something like I was talking about a movie and was like, "#wannago #excited". It takes some getting used to, but if you keep using it, I'm sure you'll get used to.
