You can send messages directly to the Twitter feed on this site by SMS using the following syntax on your phone:

d hhl your message

to the Twitter number that you're given when you set up your phone in your account (note the space after the 'd' and the 'hhl')
 
You can, of course, send tweets from your online Twitter account also. Be sure to follow hhl (http://twitter.com/hhl/)

Tony Vincent who originally set up the Handheld Learning feed, that we have hijacked with thanks  Wink, put together an easy to use guide for Twitter beginners which can be found here:

It need's a little updating but should get you going!

I'm excited about Twitter for Handheld Learning 2008!  I think we'll have quite a few delegates posting updates from the conference. Of course, those of us that did post from last year's conference had a blast.

I've updated my one-page beginners' guide for HHL 2008 (see attached).

Like Graham said, our Twitter setup is a little different from last year. We're the GroupTweet service to reroute direct messages to hhl into hhl's updates page. That way, you can go to one page (http://twitter.com/hhl) to see the updates. If you see an update from an interesting person on hhl, you can click their hyperlinked username and follow them as well.

Do note that by sending a direct message to Twitter (that means you start your Twitter update with d hhl) it will not appear on your own Twitter page, just hhl's. Also, be aware it takes about 2 minutes for your d hhl message to appear on twitter.com/hhl.

So, getting used to the Twitter way of things can take a little while. That's why I suggest getting started now so you're a pro when October's conference comes around.

Also, here's a great video called Twitter in Plain English that explains Twitter for those of you new to this micro-blogging service.
