 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Sometimes Twitter can make newcomers feel like twits because the online messaging service isn't as simple as it sounds.
The idea of sharing information in 140-character snippets is easy to grasp, but it can be confounding to navigate the communications crossfire while trying to learn Twitter's etiquette and idiom. Then there's the befuddling matter of trying to figure out whom you should follow and which Twitter tools you should use.
It all starts to make sense after reading "The Twitter Book," a primer co-written by two of the messaging service's early evangelists, Tim O'Reilly and Sarah Milstein. It's worth the suggested retail price of $20, though Amazon.com was recently selling the book for $13.59.
