About the twitter on medXcentral group:

Twitter is an amazing tool. It is so simple. So simple, it takes a few minutes to figure out how to make it work for you. This group is designed to pull together twitter users and those (particularly medical professionals) who seek to understand how to make twitter work for themselves. If you already get it, help others understand twitter by starting a discussion below. Maybe you have tip or trick. Share it below.

Quick start resource (the best I have found so far): The Ultimate Guide to Everything Twitter ... covers set up, usage and resources... pretty amazing resource.
