An article on what to do with Twitter. Still haven't decided if it's a good idea or not, but other people seem fascinated.

A good introduction to twitter with excellent introductory advice. A good explanation of why some are so excited, and others say, "yeah, so what?" when taking a first look at twitter.

Very comprehensive really. I still don't think twitter is that groundbreaking, but it's still an interesting enough service.

Great Article! This will answer the question "Ummmmmm. buy why again?" that frequently comes up about twitter. It also teaches you how to use twitter as a marketing device.

Check out this recent post over at Lifehack.org that covers “five ways to use Twitter for good.” I particularly like the ideas of friendsourcing and quick human answers.

Also, various mashups of Twitter search results, RSS feeds and jedi tricks with stuff like Yahoo Pipes can result in some very interesting customized info streams. Check out Christopher S. Penn’s post on Twitter Power Tips.
