How Tweet

* texts sent via Twitter are called 'tweets' ;-)

Just how 'tweet' are those Twitter-ers?

Tempted by this fad? Believe it or not, website tweetvalue.com will gauge the value of your Twitter account. I'm guessing its based on # of followers - so by that score I'm afraid Kathy Griffin is still a 'D-List' celebrity. Compare:
http://twitter.com/aplusk (Ashton) 600,000 followers
http://twitter.com/mrskutcher (Demi) 300,000 follow
http://twitter.com/marthastewart 250,000 followers
http://twitter.com/margaretcho 16,000 followers
http://twitter.com/kathygriffin 8000 followers
*If you're still considering it, also consider Twitturly.com, which tracks the most popular URLs (or Web links) being shared across Twitter, and Tweetdeck or Twhirl, both of which help you manage/organize your tweets. Good Luck.

p.s. 'Too old' to Tweet? Queen Elizabeth joined 2 weeks ago. Her account is still 'parked' but that hasn't detered the fakers:
http://twitter.com/qeII - fake Queen Elizabeth, 1 follower
http://twitter.com/QueenLizzzie - fake also, 262 followers
http://twitter.com/QueenLizII - fake again, 736 followers
not to mention...
http://twitter.com/PrinceCharles - 800 followers...?
