[Tips for the Twitter-curious]

Tips for the Twitter-curious is a free 9-part blog mini-series  for people who want to:

• read about what on earth twitter.com is and does;
• get more out of Twitter than they already are;
• hear practical ideas on making the site work for them;
• uncover some of the more artistic values and uses of Twitter.

Please spread the word to anyone you know who might benefit from a non-threatening, lighthearted-yet-in-depth, exploration of Twitter-ville.  It's aimed at everyone including:

• complete beginners;
• those with an account already but who don't use it;
• those who do use it but for only one purpose;
• and even for those who think the idea of writing very short messages is ridiculous and pointless!
