Working as Community Manager for a company with millions of users is not a simple task. You need to walk the fine line of being overly professional and therefore boring, and on the flip side, too personal and amateurish. Richard Barley, the Community Manager of Tweetdeck does this perfectly. Anyone who has ever had a question about Tweetdeck knows they can ask him on Twitter and except a response within seconds. Richard keeps his audience interested and displays a high level of professionalism in his work.

As I thought about the next topic for a blog post, I could not help but get drawn back to Twitter. It is what interests most of my readers, and the truth be told, it is what interests me. This week, Twitter experienced a game-changing event. My wife joined! The reason I mention my wife joining is because when she joined, I started to realize that there are some very basic terms that are unknown to new Twitter users and are not explained well anywhere. I figured I would take the task upon myself to explain to the millions of the people out there who will be joining Twitter over the next year or two, what they need to know.
