This pulls it together very nicely - I am now a twitter addict and find many people still confused about it.

Thanks Stefan.  I keep plodding along on Twitter - erratically. I book marked this as it looks like especially good info.

Stefan - Thanks for these links and this info. I've been on twitter about a week now and am just getting my feet wet. I'm trying to figure out how to add a "follow me" widget to my blog here on AR and to my web site. Are you aware of any info out there on that topic?

Thanks,

Ken
