FromChurch.com provides a much more extensive explanation of what Twitter is in this blog post.

Anthony Coppedge has written Twitter for Churches.  You can follow his blog here.  I purchased the book but have not read it yet.  I’ll report back after reading it.

I’ve been slow getting started with Twitter but I’m making an effort.  My twitter messages automatically update on this blog, see the right side of the page, and on FaceBook.  My Twitter name is pobriant.
