Twitter - Seeking Clarity From This Helpful Community
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!

the main reason i knew Hugh's was a fake was that it was very "fan-ish" in its contents. that, and we all know Hugh would never get a twitter. it's just so unlike him to do so.
there are options you can check/uncheck for receiving/sending tweets on your phone. there's also a nifty little program called Tweet Deck that you can download onto your computer that sorts tweets by groups you make, or by the individual. it's really only a help if you follow a lot of people, though. if you're just planning on following a few, it probably isn't necessary. there are also apps you can dl for your phone, but i think it's only helpful if you have an iphone or blackberry. i have neither, so i don't ever tweet via phone.
hope i was able to answer some of your questions... :)
