I admit it; I just don't get Twitter (am I just not enough of a Narcissist?) or do I just not get Guy Kawasaki's article?

What is it? In short, Twitter is a free social-networking tool that keeps people connected with one another and with sources of information. Twitter users submit updates about whatever they're currently doing, and these updates cannot exceed 140 text-based characters.

Lingo: Twitter is the name of the service. The term twittering describes the activity of updating a Twitter account. A tweet is an individual Twitter update. Twitterers are people who use the service.

Followers, not Friends: Social-networking sites like Facebook and MySpace use the term "friend" to refer to people who are connected with one another, but Twitterers can simply follow one another's messages by finding a person's username and selecting a "Follow" option. This alerts the person that you're following them, and they can reciprocally choose to follow you, or not.
