Basically, it's mini updates from me ... about what I'm doing, feeling, thinking at any given moment. It's kind of that lag time between blogs -- when I really don't have a "blog's worth" of stuff to write ... And I can do it from anywhere. If I'm sitting in traffic, I can text out a "twitter" to say "Construction in KC blows" and poof -- it shows up on the web -- and even on my blog. It's kind of addictive once you get started - beware. At first I didn't get it -- seemed dumb, useless, whatever, now ... I like it!
Here are some sites to help you understand Twittering. This first is a real cool video that explains it in VERY simple terms.

I enjoy reading your twittering. You have a witty sense and I love your spur of the moment commments. Miss you!
I am LMFAO at the "I tweeted" comment.
Your twittering is fun to read! I don't get to read it often so when I do read it...it's a lot to read...and it always makes me laugh. DW
