Have some Twitter questions..?

[D J]

I was thinking of joining Twitter, I have some friends on it but there are some things I am very confused about!

-First - what is the difference between twitpics and lockerz? Can you see who views your pictures?
If so :: (Can you only see if your followers view your pictures or can you see when people not following you view them? )

-Can you explain the symbols and the way twitter works?

-Do you also have to sign up for the pics sites to upload your pictures on twitter?

- How do you find friends on twitter?

- What is trending or the # sign mean?

- When you use the @ signs what is the difference when used before or after someones name ? How do you know who is making the statement or asking the question?


These are just a few things I am confused about..any information is greatly appreciated..I have a facebook page and used to have a myspace in the past and found them easy to use and twitter looks so much simpler but it confuses me greatly for some reason..

Thanks so much!
I have a blackberry ..can you "tweet" from that device and see others tweets?

TwitPic and Lockerz are online programs to help you upload photos to Twitter for people to see. I know for sure that you can't see if you're followers view your picture, you only know if they see it if they comment on it.
The little guy with the plus (+) sign next to it means you can follow that person (recieve updates on you're wall/timeline)
If you used TwitPic to upload pictures to Twitter, you can either sign up, or just use your twitter account, and save the time of signing up.
you can find friends on twitter by searching through email, facebook, or searching their name on twitter.
the trending # (hashtags) mean that those words are being used most often in tweets and status updates. ex. "Some people don't get how to work twitter #sofunny" or "I love my dog #happyday"
trending topics are topics people ar tweeting about most.
the @ sign is used for when you reply to someone. If you were replying to jordin sparks on twitter, you would do something like "@JordinSparks you are amazing" or something like that.
BTW, twitter has a 140 character limit, which means you can only type 140 letters/punctuations/spaces from the keyboard.
