I made one on niu out of curiosity a while back but immediately came to the realization that I had no idea what to actually do with it. The whole structure of it just feels strange to me.
Have you used twitter before? I assume not.
It takes quite a throwing yourself in there, and having the willingness to put your thoughts out there for all to see, but you can end up with some good friends. Just keep following interesting people and when they say interesting things reply with interesting toots. Even if you're shy to post non-replies at first, you'll get the hang of it soon enough.
