Project Instructions:

This week we are starting a section a Twitter. We have already gotten a pretty good jump start but we are going to do a couple simple startup activities.

1) Read http://mashable.com/2009/05/23/twitter-backgrounds/

2) Create a Background that ties into your blog

3) Complete your twitter profile

4) Register yourself on Twellow

5) Follow 20 other twitter profiles that are similar to your blog.

6) When you submit your safe-assign for this week, include your blog posts as usual and then at the bottom of the page include your twitter name so I can easily go and check you assignments for this week. All 5 steps must be completed or you will get 0 points for the week.
