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.
