I had fun playing around with the tasks in this Thing. This image is from the Twitter and Facebook status generator.I have customized my Twitter page with one of my Flickr photos, listed my blog's url, added a profile picture and written an "about me" blurb in less than 160 characters. Hopefully, this gives people a little sense of who I am.
I basically use Twitter to follow people who tweet about things that interest me. I find out about new web-sites, geocaching hints, shopping deals and much more. I don't do alot of tweeting myself, but will do an @reply, if I have anything of value to share. In doing this "thing," I added my name to the Tweeter Directory. I follow my Twitter "friends" via the BeTwittered gadget on my iGoogle homepage.
I would say that I am a beginner Twitterer and I'm not sure if I will ever use Twitter enough to get more active. Time will tell. I do like the information that I have received by using Twitter. I use search.twitter.com to find people to follow and also the #tag for specific topic tags.
My family and friends ask me what Twitter is, whenever the subject comes up. Twitter is a little hard to define. I enjoyed the list of how others define Twitter. If I had to choose, I would describe Twitter as a community, resource, library and coffee shop.

It is hard to describe to someone, isn't it. I believe you have caught on to all that it can be in your description. It is all of those things, and more!
