Hi Janice

I agree twitter is tough. Facebook gives you the benefit of having your friends already on the network and hence conversations flow easier. But your friends may not be your best target market and this is where facebook gets tough. You have to find your audience and friend them with content that interests them while still keeping your privacy intact.

Twitter on the other hand takes time to grasp but once there it has great payoffs. Do not expect quick results, it will take a few weeks before you settle in and in those few weeks giving up on twitter will seem like a very good option.

My suggestion would be - find interesting people, follow and listen to them for the first few weeks. Give time to get to know them before you start conversations.

Most importantly don't give-up; twitter has a lot of value and is worth it.

Cheers
