Twhirl is a rockin’ desktop program for Twitter, the part micro-blog/part chat web service started by the guys who created Blogger. Twitter is taking the blogosphere by storm, but using it over the web is not without its hiccups. It’s difficult to really keep up with a conversation over the web, as you have to keep reloading the page.

As you will see in this 20-minute video tutorial, Twhirl makes using Twitter much easier (and even more addictive). Enjoy!

I’ve had some interesting conversations with clients and others who are having a difficult time really understanding how to use Twitter–even some basic things like what is all the stuff on the screen.

I realized there’s some assumed knowledge and background experience that gets taken for granted by many people. Even the folks who created Twitter probably had in mind that it was going to used by people who are comfortable and experienced on the Web.

So I made a video tutorial on the basics of how to use Twitter. Here’s what you’ll find in the video:

• What’s on the screen
• Twitter terms like “tweet” and “timeline”
• How to post on Twitter
• How to favorite a post
• How to reply to another person
• How to direct message another person
