Web 2.0/Social Media
“A whole new Web is emerging from the wilds of cyberspace.
It's no longer all about idly surfing and passively reading, listening, or watching.
It's about doing: sharing, socializing, collaborating, and, most of all creating.”

Signing up for TwitterTip #1
Try to pick a username that is not too long. See if you can limit it to around 6 characters.
This way it is easier for people to retweet your tweets by not using up too much of the
140 character limit.
