Newswise — Twitter is one of the fastest growing social media sites on the web, where users "micro-blog" in 140-character-limit posts that answer the question "what are you doing?" It has grown to a phenomenon where news breaks, new media pros broadcast their views, and regular citizens rub elbows with the media elite. Newswise has compiled some helpful pointers for how to navigate your way in the Twitter world.

Newswise can be found on Twitter here http://twitter.com/newswise.

At the same time, Newswise is announcing the launch of our blog prototype on Blogger. This will be the temporary home of the Newswise Blog while we test, develop, and build a permanent home for the blog on Newswise.com. You can access this test version of the Newswise Blog at http://newswiseblog.blogspot.com.

You can view part 1 of the Twitter tutorial here on the Newswise blog, where you can rate articles, comment on them, and use the AddThis button to share posts with your friends on the social media.

We hope to see you on Twitter, and the blog!
