Twitter... Still not flying

It's been more than four months since I admitted I need remedial Twitter classes... and I still need them.

I recently found this graphic and find that I am stuck at Stage 2...

I am stuck at Stage 2 not because I ramble about the weather, lunch, and my favorite quotes, but because the tweets I receive are still gibberish to me.  Does Berlitz have an audio course for speaking Twitter?

I follow some great people:  Joyce Valenza, Maribel Castro, Karen Bonnano, Jennifer LaGarde, Teri Lesesne.  I respect what they have to say... I just prefer to read it somewhere else.

Anyone else out there prefer to learn from their PLN's via RSS blog feeds?
Any Twitter language shortcuts you can teach me?
