A friend was asking me more or less the same thing the other day -- here's what I told her:
Step one: use TweetDeck:
http://www.tweetdeck.com/
It greatly simplifies searching, following, re-tweeting, etc, by giving you a "dashboard" that constantly updates various statuses. Warning: highly addictive...
As for General Tweetiquette:
- you reply by putting the @ sign before someone's name in your tweet -- for example:
@pdxgene thanks! that was a great lasagna recipe!
- you can and should include web links in your tweets. TweetDeck (among others) will automatically shorten them using a URL shortening service
- you can mention a subject or area of interest by including a hashtag, for example:
So glad this week is almost over! #tgif
or
Next door neighbors' drumset is too loud! #getoffmylawn
- if you want to re-tweet (essentially, forward) someone's tweet, you start it with "RT @username", for example:
RT @pdxgene I've got two tickets to Led Zeppelin for sale cheap!
For what it's worth, TweetDeck has automated buttons for replying, re-tweeting and direct-messaging people's tweets, among a lot of other features.
HTH,
