We assume you have a Twitter account.  Bad assumption?  Well, if you don’t have a Twitter account then get one.  It’s widely considered the fastest growing tool of web influence, and has had a major effect on the legal industry.

Giving you a finite definition of Twitter is tricky. It’s use varies greatly, and depends a lot on the individual user. Technically, Twitter is considered a micro-blogging tool. It’s just like regular blogging, but with one significant rule change. After logging in, you are faced with the question “What are you doing?”, and just like a blog you can share exactly what you’re doing, feeling, thinking, reading – but all in less than 140 characters of entry space.

To start, some “primers” on how it works, what it is:
