I'm obviously stupid, but aren't most Twitter users as well? I have an account, I can tell my hordes of followers about my fascinating errands, but what's with the # and @? How do you send twats? What is the secret to this mysterious and superficial messaging system? I hate youth-biased technological changes. Any answers?

If so, you know those idiots that post the worst moment to moment updates all day everyday??? "OMG if I could just get the kids to not fight for 3 minutes together I could balance the checkbook..." "Making the kids meatloaf for dinner and then going to have a romantic night watching xyz stupid network show..." "The pee-wee team game was the best yet today and we celebrated with Dairy Queen..." "Made an appointment with the dentist for next week, wish me luck!!" I mean seriously boring stupid things that nobody wants to know about or cares about. Which is why I refuse to check facebook - ever. I imagine that is what Twitter would be like, but I am too lazy to find out.

Follow people that interest you, and check out their lists. Follow news feeds, etc. Don't worry about tweeting anything. That's the key. Use it like a radio.

If you're addressing them using the "@" sign, then it gets to them out in the open where everyone can read it. If you addressed it properly, the other party got your message. But it may be buried, too. Unless you're sending messages to people who really know you, I wouldn't be surprised that you're not getting an acknowledgement of your tweets.

If they're not even following you, they don't see your replies unless they click the link to check their @ replies. Oh, and people who use twitter to share their brainfarts are idiots.
