If you follow social media you know about Twitter - but many of my readers don’t follow social media and don’t really care to do so. Hence, this post.

Twitter is like e-mail, only more immediate and closed. It gives you a way to follow someone around and find out all the cool stuff they’re doing (and the mundane stuff as well). What are they finding out online, what new cases have they uncovered, what tips and tricks are in their toolboxes . . . it’s all there for you.

All you need to do sign up for a Twitter account (it’s free) and tell the system who you want to follow. From then on, every time that person sends a message it gets broadcast to you (as well as to all the other people following him or her).

I’m on Twitter, sending out updates that don’t make it onto this site. Tips, tools, and a few special offers that I run across on a daily basis as I sit in front of my keyboard. Just go to Twitter.com and sign up, then search for me (my username is JayFleischman) and follow me.
