If you’re just getting started with Twitter, you might want to use the buddy system to get a handle on how things work.  Instead of jumping in all by yourself, find a friend or two to join up with you.

Here’s why.  Instead of experimenting with other people and going through the inevitable trial and error process in a way that could reflect poorly on you or inconvenience other users, you’ll be able to play with Twitter by constructing your own little “newbie network”, insulated from the rest of the Twittersphere.

Don’t worry, this isn’t a long-term situation.  You’ll probably get the hang of things on the first day.  Having someone else with whom to test out Twitter will make things that easy.

You don’t need to go this route, of course.  You can hop right into Twitter and get started. Chances are, it will work out great for you, too.  However, if you’re a little nervous about learning the ropes, bring a buddy with you!
