Some people use Twitter to talk about every little event, whilst others use it to talk about topics that interest them. For instance, I follow a lot of people focused around web accessibility, so get a lot of tweets that contain links to useful articles, blog posts and so forth. It's not everyone's cup of tea though, that's for sure.

I think I may be missing the point though, as i'm not one for telling everyone every little event I'm doing or something. I'll just have to see how things pan out. Thanks.

Alternatively, you could try the Accessible Twitter website instead: http://www.accessibletwitter.com/ There are also heaps of applications you can use to access Twitter when you're not using your browser. There is Outtwit, which is a plugin to Outlook: http://www.techhit.com/OutTwit/ There is Jawter, which uses Jaws to access Twitter: http://randylaptop.com/2009/02/08/jawter-2/ There is Jib Jib, which you can use from your mobile phone: <http://www.jibjib.org> http://www.jibjib.org There are probably many more besides, but those are certainly the popular ones at the moment I think.

I've just signed up to Twitter, but don't know what to do next. It doesn't help that none of my friends use it. But I've heard that there are various clients and I've heard of one called Jawder or something like that. Any info from fellow Tweeters would be great. You can send off-list if prefered. Thanks.
