Even before the most recent hype about Twitter, the microblogging network was already growing rapidly in popularity, as reported by Mashable in January.

What I love about Twitter requires a new website entirely, but I shall paraphrase quite simply here; It is my social life. After the dissolving of my maiden serious relationship, I felt I could not return to the social circle I had once shared with this person so easily, and so I turned to my online networks. I have a strong passion for event management, and so found the Brisbane Twitter community open to many new ideas from creative souls. And events we have!

For the many of my “in-real-life” friends who have not made the move into the confined, simplicity of the intelligent network (and are still fapping around with Facebook News Feeds), I am running a series of blog entries on how to kick arse on Twitter. That is, on:

1. getting started,
2. basic Twitter etiquette,
3. being useful to other “tweeps,” and
4. finding the information you want from the Twittersphere.

You’re all certainly doomed to be tweeked!

Edit, 12th May: I came across this post yesterday on Ten Twitter Mythconceptions and just had to share. Such a good one.
