This video also does not help promote the "coolness" of twitter:
Twitter is a great tool. I have referred to it regularly in my blog, often calling it my personal learning network. It is just that PERSONAL. Someone wanting to utilise twitter can not just start an account and then start "following" all the people who I follow and have a meaningful experience.
To have a positive experience with Twitter you need to start your account, edit your profile - add an avatar and give some details about yourself in your bio. It does not need to be personal info... generic details that you are an educator is fine.
The next step is to start following people who are of interest to you. If you have your avatar and bio in place there is a much greater chance they will follow you back.
Next steps for those who want to advance are to use a twitter browser such as TweetDeck. It makes it a lot easier to track your tweets.
For more info this link will take you to a "handbook" for teachers using twitter.
A link to help you find teachers on twitter.
