Ok, I just joined Twitter; now what?
I started a twitter account for the Dave blog and I'm not even sure what my address is or how to tweet a string of words to warn my followers as well as remind me what Dave said. And how do I tweet from my cell phone?

:shrug:

3. To Tweet from your phone:
Go to "Settings" and then "Devices." Follow the info for adding your cell phone number to your Twitter account. After that, you just send a text message to the 5-digit Twitter number you'll get and it shows up as a Tweet from you.

4. Follow Lance Armstrong

Hi,
Even if you are not a biking fan, his tweets are fun I think. He lives a pretty crazy life and posts a lot of pictures of him. He is currently in recovery from surgery from a broken collarbone so is back in Austin. Before his crash he was posting pics of him from training in the mountains, so his post are not as jet setting as they were before, but still fun stuff! You can always stop following.

Peace

11. Now you turn into a total douche and tell everyone about your twittering.
Not that you are a total douche, but I find twittering to be one of the most annoying fads in recent memory.

14. I, for one, follow my favorite handbag designer
so they can tweet me about their sales. Because, you know, when something goes on sale 70% off, if you don't jump on it right away, YOU LOSE.
