Once I decided to just dive in with no water wings and figure Twitter out from the inside out, I really enjoy it - sometimes way too much! As for the shorthand, every time I came across something that confused me, I typed it into Google. So perhaps "# Twitter shorthand". I always found answers, as the Twitter community is huge and so passionate about the medium that lots of people are writing glossaries and etc. HG Elizabeth:

Pros: There is an immediacy that is useful--a "you are there" quality. Making new connections from a feed is easy and quickly navigated. You also move rather quickly outside of your comfort zone of reliable, "go to" sources and expand your sphere. Cons: For a newbie, deciphering the shorthand can be daunting. Also, not knowing some of my followers, I am worried that I am not being interesting enough or relevant (particularly the luminaries of nfp/association/philanthropic social media community!). Time suck, still figuring out how to incorporate and how to manage the twitter world and still get work done. I have decided that I will build it and our community will come.
