Newbie

I'm usually just a facebook fiend. I'm not one for exploring new avenues and never have been and thats why i felt negatively towards twitter and blogging. What happened to old fashioned contact?

I facebook stalk often and i'm not ashamed. I just enjoy seeing what people are up to. However, how can i do that over twitter and blogs? I don't know how to use either and i am well and truly confused.

All i've ever known of twitter is that my friends often used it to bitch which seemed to cause arguments between two of them that didn't get along. So i got put off of the whole twitter hype and stuck to good old facebook. But all i've heard since joining university is "Get twitter!". I did attempt to make an account once, it went well until i realised i didn't have a clue how to use it and ditched the whole idea.

I've been a twitter user for the past hour and a half now and i'm still no closer to working out how to use it, but i'm sure i'll get there in the end.
