We never know what each contact will specifically lead to, but we connect none the less. Some connect with friends, some follow a theme or idea, some focus on an area, others just connect. As twitter peeps, we have the freedom to use it in our own way, and follow or follow back whoever we wish. And yes, there is a lot more knowledge out there compared to instruction. I did a quick article on 11 Tweeters you will meet in Twitter heaven to show a few good ideas.

Something that is hard to do is actually finding people who will respond. I have been making lots of connections but they follow me and i have no idea why they are following me so in some sense theres a disconnect to meeting people. <br /><br />Theres no real guide to how to use Twitter, you just have to use it. I mean the help topics and what not with the FAQ on Twitter help give some direction, but weilding an effective account can take a long time and can be very discouraging.
