I feel like a twit 'cause I don't know how to tweet

This is the first thing that really made me feel lost. I went on twitter, signed up, found some people to follow (am I a duckling now?) and then what? I found the help section and they spend most of the time talking about how it's a great way to find info really quickly. What? Most people use twitter as a way of sending things out, not to bring things in. Have they all been using it wrong? Or does twitter have high expectations? I tried to use it to find info like the help guide suggested and while the actual tweets aren't that useful the ability to use them to reference other online articles works pretty well. Anyone how wants can send me a message, just add @kem248 in it and it should show up. I think. Maybe.
