@Pete – Thanks very much for your help. I also found this blog post – http://www.brentozar.com/archive/2008/08/twitter-101/ – which is very useful for those starting out on Twitter. It explains about RT, OH and all those other Twitter conventions which seem very bewildering at first.

@ Colin – Travel Tuesdays is the unofficial day when Twitterers worldwide provide travel tips and advice. Typically these tweets include the keyphrase “#traveltuesdays.”

Some useful tips there, thanks. I’ve been using Twitter for about a month now and am really enjoying it, and I would definitely recommend Twitter to anyone who hasn’t started using it.

Incidentally, I would love to know how to get involved in TravelTuesdays that MadelineJ mentioned in the previous comment. Can anyone help?

I’m a pretty new twitterer and got hooked when I realized Twitter’s listening power. I use the “search” at the bottom of the screen and have found links to websites and blogs that I never knew existed. Also I love TravelTuesdays – lots of great tips there!

I’m still puzzled about all the random people that follow me – I have no idea how they find me or why they care about my tweets.

Hope you’ll also read my tweets, a regular traveler who posts what he’s doing not just retweets and direct messages! http://www.twitter.com/gonomad
