Connect with other greenies on Twitter, the microblogging tool that lets you exchange short ideas and resources (140 characters or less!) with like-minded folks from your computer or phone. Getting started is simple:

• Register. Hop over to Twitter.com and register. Choose a name that says something about you. You can change your user name after you're registered, and you can use multiple accounts under different names—but both will muddy your identity and confuse others trying to converse with you, so be wise and think ahead.
• Set up a profile. Make it easy for like-minded users to find you by keeping your description short, sweet and focused on your interests.
• Follow some interesting people. Super Eco would be honored to be among your first friends! Check our list of green Twitterers for more green folks worth following. When you follow someone, they'll often follow you right back. Before you know it, you'll be surrounded with all sorts of interesting chatter.
• Bite into ideas. Twitter isn't about announcing what you had for breakfast or linking your newest blog post (although those things can be an interesting part of your Twitter "stream"). Use Twitter to share ideas and inspirations. "Re-tweet" (copy, paste and re-send) messages you find interesting to help push them along the stream. 
• Join the conversation. "Overhearing" other people's conversations is part of what makes Twitter so fascinating. Join the conversation by using the @ function; use Direct Message to send a private message to a single user.
• Learn more. If you get Twitter fever, try some of the applications that let you sort and manage your followers and messages. TwiTip.com reviews many of them and offers ideas on using Twitter for advocacy, PR, business and pleasure.

We'd love to chat with you at @supereco; you can get our news feed at @supereconews. See you on Twitter!
