As a relative newbie myself, the start-up is a challenge. How do you get those tiny urls, etc. And it takes a while to "get it" -- how you can connect with a growing community and just let them know what's on your mind, share something you've just read that you think might interest them, etc. You can get to know someone pretty well that way! But I think the stats on non-participation are a little skewed -- with the massive publicity Twitter has received over the past year, a lot of people have signed up out of curiosity or to get in on on the latest fad. It will be interesting to see how it grows and evolves. Good post. As a relative newbie myself, the start-up is a challenge.

While there seem to be many how to use Twitter manuals out there, it is still seemingly a daunting prospect for the masses.
