One of the biggest differences between Twitter and the regular social networking sites is that you can follow someone (subscribe to their twits) without them having to approve it, or having to follow you back. This makes that networks can really grow incredibly large, and powerfull.
You blog or tweet with messages of no more than 140 characters. Things to be tweeted (= sending out a twit or tweet (message) on twitter) can be
what you are thinking or doing right now
a new post on your blog that you wrote
a great oneliner or quote from someone
a picture that you took
a ReTweet (RT) from someone else, think of it as a forward in email
promote your website or business
