Will someone explain how twitter works to me? I already know how to do it the stupid way and have mastered fumbling around. I need some help on exactly how to get the most out of it, and how to use it well.

Uh... I think it's lame when used as like a FaceBook thing. I use it to get news tips, since a lot of techies tweet before they post blog stuff.

I use it as Facebook status that my girlfriend's parents cannot see, since both of them have Facebook. Also I follow friends who don't have FB or people like the Dev Team.

ya basically thats all you get, i just use it for news and updates from the dev team and others

[StealthBravo]

news and updates only. it is kinda of boring

I have a firned trying to get me to use Twitter and as a Facebook user, it seems first off, a bit redundant, but the way I read above, with Twitter, you can follow anyone and not have to set up a friends network?

IMO Twitter seems dumb for the most part. What's the point of updating what youre doing all of the time? All it sounds like is a stalker favorite because you can see exactly what someone is doing. Anyone else notice its been expanding like crazy in the last month? Everywhere you look, there is a Twitter! PTI, Mark Cuban was fined for critisizing officials through Twitter, and Charlie Villanueva got Twitter banned in the locker room because he was "tweeting" at halftime of a game. Anyone else notice that? Every TV show, sports team, and celebrity has Twitter now...

That was my thinking as well. WIth Facebook while you can post status, what I enjoy is sharing links, photos, thoughts, comments and doing some of the dumb quizzes so you can rag and tease your friends about their results.

It's unfortunate that you feel that way about yourself

I take it you've "friended" your girlfriend's parents?Otherwise you can change your privacy settings in FB. I didnt think you could see someone's status if they weren't your friend. Set up your privacy as only friends being able to see your posts and profile. It set to friends of friends by default.

Already did before I befriended them, but still you can never be too safe.

True, especially with this newest version. I swear Ive set stuff to not post and it still does. What is food is that the iPhone version still has "live feed" so I often check that to make sure stuff isnt showing up, also for stuff I'm missing as well.
