I started to follow a friend of mine and soon knew when she was at work, when she was at home, if she was having dinner, getting a drink and a fair few other mundane pieces of information.
I just didn't get it.
I then started looking for some famous people to follow and that's when I started to realise what it's all about!
It's about following people that you find interesting and when you follow the right people you'll start to enjoy twitter and that's what I think it's all about!
I've even started following local business to me such as my local paper so I can see local headlines with a web link, if I want to read more I can click on the link else I just ignore it!
I've recently discovered the Lists function so I've now grouped together all the local people I'm following, people I actually know, famous people and funny people!
One of the people I'm following is @thekeithchegwin who tweets a lot of funny jokes and it made my day when I replied to one of his tweets saying I had just found him on Twitter and hadn't laughed so much in a long while and he sent me a reply!
I'm also following the lead singer of the band Twisted Sister @deesnider and he Re-Tweeted one of my comments and added to it! In what other situation could I be chatting with a megastar like that?!
If you want to see the people I am currently following on Twitter then take a look at my lists here:

When it comes to Tweeting, I have decided not to Tweet about everything and anything but will mainly Tweet about the different day trips I go on along with the odd thing that I find interesting or relevant to me.
