indeedsir_backup | Twitter - Seeking Clarity From This Helpful Community (Reply)

What-Ho! Oh, wise and learned community -- at least those amongst the community who use Twitter -- I bring you a question: In a previous comment to one of this community's posts, I asked about Twitter. I just want to know how it works - from those who actually use it. Does it spam your cellphone? Your email? Do you choose when to access what's going on with your feed? It looks like you can update from your browser on your pc, is that so?

I'm particularly interested in following Stephen Fry and Eddie Izzard, who have both been mentioned.
Also, I know about Stephen Fry, but how do you know it's Eddie Izzard -- considering I saw that folks have outed whomever took the handle HughLaurie as an imposter?

If anyone wants to take the time to fill me in a bit, I'd be ever so grateful.
Please and thank you!
