Where to start with Twitter

Steve Buttry has posted a Twitter tutorial for absolute beginners, complete with screenshots. It covers, among other things, opening a Twitter account, setting up your account preferences, composing your first "tweets," finding people to follow, and managing your incoming tweets: "One of the most important things to do is monitor your 'mentions,' which will be tweets where someone uses your @username, either replying to you, retweeting you or talking about you."
